Payload is 815kgs.

IMHO a 650 litre tank is too big.

I have an expert 2.0 hdi(same as scudo) 900kg payload, its got a 350 litre mount, and i also carry a 18 litre backpack and 25 litre barrel it lasts me a day no problem, plenty of room for my guttervac too :)

Good vans but I would go for a hdi model though as the 1.9 is a slug! Hdi is quick and good on fuel too 8)

1.9 d Scudo, Expert and Dispatch 815 kg payload

2.0 Hdi/Jtd Scudo, Expert & Dispatch 900kgs.

There were some later 1.9TD's that were 900kgs before Hdi, but the earlier ones were also 815kgs.

I have 650 litre tank in my vw caddy. can only legally fill to 400/500 depending on passenger, but wanted bigger tank for flexibility, in case of sloping drives, less risk of over filling and coming out of top, etc. occasionally will fill to 550/575 litres as only drive couple mile with it if need to.
