OK whats the max vehicle carrying capacity?

If it's 800kg and it's just you on board then I would go for a 500L tank, upright if possible.
It's a game of three halves!

I have the new LWB connect and have a 500ltr system in it,when it`s full you know it but it copes well considering the size of tank.

OK The 200 has a carrying weight of 625Kg - yours my be higher. But if you are limited to 625 then I would stick to 400L max.

Look on your documents for the gross payload, that is what you can carry - this includes driver, fuel ladders etc
