Has anyone put their tank on one side of the van?
Would it be too dangerous because of the weight on one side?
(It would be a 650ltr tank by the way)

al long as u dont go around corners u will be ok,  but it across the middle up against the bulk head

[Lee GLS]

across the middle up against the bulk head

same here

[Richy L]

The reason I mentioned it is becasue it if goes against the bulkhead it will be in the way of something else.
I may have to get a flat tank and use the space above it.

[jarvy]

Must be mad,cant see that being very safe. Also you will have the best part of 700kg on one side of the van,wont be good for the suspension.

[mlscontractcleaner]

We have ours across the back over the rear axle>

For safety reasons it would be very unwise to put a 650litre tank on one side of your van, unless you have a counter weight on the other side.

Your suspension will be dangerously overloaded on one side. Have you driven behind a lorry where the load had shifted to one side? And every corner you feared it was going to fall over? That's exactly what will happen to your van.

With the tank like that you will be having an accident, guaranteed. Don't do it.

what about but two new tanks and have two 300 ltr tanks one each side

[tacky]

as erith said u can get tanks to fit over wheel arches ( in side van )they r called saddle tanks i think .or get a fat git to sit in passenger side

 I mean like this ...

Don't mean to be rude but surely the answer is obvious. That set up would just be dangerous. It's just common sense surely.

also if you got pulled over by vosa they would have a frill day with you.

If you put it to one side it'll be in the way of something else, oncoming traffic.

Mines behind the seats in the middle (though it pretty much goes all the way across)

One side = bad idea.... Get a layflat tank and build a frame ove it to store your other stuff

[geefree]

I did not think you would be able to have that much weight over the axles,

may be wrong as mine is a 650l tank, and was told the correct place is where some of you guys tanks are ,.. behind the seats/bulkhead.......as that is the strongest part of the load area, and the correct balance for the van,

Like I said, the reason I mentioned it is because I want to use the space behind the bulkhead for something else. I didnt think anyone would have put it to one side. 300 on each wheel arch sounds good though. I think I'll look into that. I should get my new van in a couple of days so I'm think of the best way to kit it out and maximise the space.

I better check that first then!
I assume two tanks to go over the wheel arches are expensive ... is that right?

[Craig Trevain]

Baffles would be the wrong way.

Gardiners used to sell saddle tanks... not sure of they still do
