Does any one use one of these vans , especially a crew cab type. I am asking to know if a 250 litre barrel and  hose reel will easily fit into the rear end , thanks very much Ted

Hi Hilland, yes it will , I found that a flat tank is better than a upright, regards Kevin

You have seen a window cleaner's van's tank break free from its anchorage? What was the outcome?

Before that 230kg tank hits me it would need to snap the two 1.5 tonne straps then rip out the bar between the arches then go through the seat restraints and cage it wont happen as the tank is only full for about one hour.
