Im sure the old combos could hold about 700kg - if you already carry about 200kg then add a 250kg tank then add your weight! and a few other bits that you pick up on the way - your maxed out - your van will do about 30 mph!

you will be fine with a 400ltr tank.

Payload 565kg on the 1.7d
400ltr tank holds 360ltrs water plus tank weigh etc - you're fine.

your payload already includes driver and  passenger and full tank of diesel so a 400 litre tank would be fine
