So looking at tanks now, my present tank is an Enduramaxx 500 litre upright and very happy with it, it’s very well made and there is no water sloshing at all, so if I’m buying a new tank I would prefer another Enduramaxx tank. Looking at the Enduramaxx 500 flat which would be better for ratchet strapping but they would want £180 to deliver it to Scotland😲. Just wondering if I should ratchet strap my current tank? dimensions are L1200 W500 H1100

I’d go flat mate, you might get a bit of sloshing, so stuff a load of flexible drainage hose in the tank, that’s what I did. Worked a treat.

Flat tanks are so much safer. Also spreads the weight a bit better.

With these ev vans are they restricted to 60mph on motorways the same as HGV's as they are over 3.5t?

How about putting a metal frame around the tank but elongated to the rear and with a cross member that would sit 'behind' the wheel arches?

So looking from above the leading edge of the frame would extend to behind the door pillars and the tank leading edge against the bulkhead; then a long support each side of the tank with a cross member at the back of the tank and a final cross member at the rear behind but up against the wheel arches?

Also strapped down.

Another consideration I’m having, with the footprint/weight of the battery pack (around 400kg?)being pretty much where the footprint/weight of the tank is (in my case 550kg when full) will this affect the structural integrity of the van?
