any ideas lads what tank i would get into this van??

it has 800kg payload

would i get a 500 litre in?

Depends on what else you plan on putting in there. Is it 1 or 2 man set up?

[tom20001]

one man set up so couple of poles, 100m hosereel , pump and me 100kg approx!

[easy clean]

As long as it is that then yes easily. We use to run t220 connects with a 825 payload with 650 tanks and they was on the limit. The tanks had a mark on them so they knew how much to put in. It was prob about 600-620 and they could only ever have up to half a tank of diesel too and they was bang on the max payload.

But I'm sure loads of people will come here now saying their little bit. I run a legit business so can't be seen to be doing anything wrong, of it was wrong they wouldn't have them in the van

thanks mate, just considering my options as i currently have 250 L tank in seat inca and want a bigger tank

reason i was put off the transit was they seemed to be very heavy on fuel???

I think VW also allow 75kg for the driver and make some allowance for fuel when they calculate their payload, so it is a bit more generous than other manufacturers.

 payloads are lower than other rival vans,

i think a full 500l tank would put you overweight depending on what else you carry, I would love a caddy maxi 4motion but they are just too expensive!

I had a caddy for a few years great vans.. Last year I purchase 500L tank system and went for a new transporter and wow this is amazing van, it does cost me slightly more in fuel thou

You're right about the transit connects they are rubbish on fuel

They might not be great on fuel, but rubbish?, that is a bit harsh!. I get 40mpg, which given i start the day with half a ton of water in the back, then spend the day doing stop start driving, is not that bad.
