Sierra,

I may have mislead you slightly on the van dimensions as the width I quoted was between the wheel arches, but as you intend to fit an upright tank against the bulkhead it won't be an issue.

I think the overall load width is 1490mm

sierra, if i had the choice like you have now then id go for a 650 flat personally, i think it does drive better and if you mount the upright behind the seats across the van then the baffles dont do their job and you get the swaying when you stop which drives me mad!!!!!!!!

i  make you right as well about idiots that are quick to jump on the posts and knock people when they dont know what they're talking about thats why i dont post most of the time cos i cant stand some of the idiots on here, trust me get a 220 90ps connect, they are the best (for residential i think)

easy clean, if by idiots you mean people who advise against putting a 650l tank into an 825kg payload van, then this forum is full of idiots (not directed at sierragls).

I think what he is saying it does not leave much room for other kit, ie 175kg

that would easily be eating up by weight of tank, fuel,ladders,hose, reel, trad kit, poles, and all the other rubbish we carry, you would be lucky if you did not go over the 825kg

My dispatch has a 900kg payload and is fitted with a 600l tank.

With tank full and me plus trad gear according to a public weigh bridge the van is right on the limit. A full tank of fuel at the time would have taken me just over.

IMO very irresponcible to advocate putting a 650l tank in a van with an 825kg payload.

i wouldnt put anything bigger than a 400L TANK in a connect with a payload of 825kg.its not good for any van to be constantly on the limit weight wise anyway.

i have a kangoo with a 625kg payload and 300L is as much as a carry weight wise.with trolley/trad gear/ladders and me then i think im comfortably under but not by  that much i bet!

dazmond, a 500l tank in an 825kg payload connect would give you the same spare capacity as your 300l tank in your 625kg payload kangoo. Simple maths.
