Hi

If you need the rear seats up the 350 ltr flat would be better as you can mount the reel on top of the tank i have looked at the upright and it makes things tight with alot of wasted space

Would a flat fit in that space? Would be a tight squeeze.

Wonder if our dimensions are the same Erith with you having different seats (nicer seats  ;D) Mine are factory to just older i think, they rock forward to make a flat bed.

i personally think its bonkers to try and squeeze a 350L in a combo with 5 seats.if you have to ferry any loved ones around with a full tank youll be way over your payload weight.youll knacker the suspension as well as being illegal on the road.

why dont you all just use your vans for work and buy a cheap second hand car for pleasure/leisure purposes?

i use my girlfriends car at the moment and just use van for work but ill be getting a focus or honda civic for leisure in a few months.

Hi

The tank will fit fine and i will be under the payload plus my daughters will never be in the van when it is fully loaded anyway i already have a car but my wife uses it for work so the crew cab is used for when i need to pop out and my wife is at work the kids can jump in the van  ;D ;D

Weve also got a family car but as Erith, my wife uses it for work so if i need to pick them up from school or at weekend...when the tank will be near to or empty...

Hush thy mouth. Why would i get ANOTHER car, ive got 2 vehicles, i dont have to use my girlfriends car  :P

Crew cabs are well handy so shh and 350 fits very nicely indeed with seats. Perfect all rounder.

I just picked up my sons combo and wondered whether you fixed your reel in place or just leave it available to lift in and out as neccesary.
I was just refering to your pic and decided that a 210 ltr tank is the best way forward.
Thanks again for the pics, Regards Jon

Reel looks fixed to me, its a nice height to work at that is to reel in and out etc.

I run my system off my van battery...never had a problem always done it this way.

My 350 is upright and to get the reels in like i have i had to higher them so the doors would shut on them, they slot into the recess where the window is if you understand what i mean.

You could probably fit the reels on top of a layflat tank to be fair.
