Thinking ahead to March next year when Im going in for a new / newish Peugeot Bipper 625KG payload.

plan is to install a 400 litre tank with 1 man set up however cant see point of an upright tank ?

a flat tank can be boarded over and reels / buckets etc can go on top with still space to spare.

any flaws with a flat tank ?

the only real difference is if you regularly drain your tank flat, its harder to use the last of the water in a flat tank.

Hi ian if you don't mind be asking what made you go for the bipper?

I used a up right tank as its left me with more headroom space and also easier to fasten to the full steel  bulkhead  and floor straps. There is also less slosh  of the  water in the tank.I do think its very much of a personal one. I do also find the van very stable to drive due to less movement of the water in the tank.

Basically for the size of the van it offers a superb payload of 625KG.

Great MPG.

Its a second van so 90% of time will be 1 man in it - though will have it set up with 2nd controller for redundancy purposes plus occasionaly may have me in it as well

Plenty of them to choose from and even more very soon when Post Office will be defleeting about 8000 red ones (full body wrap will take care of wrong colour issue)

Looked at 2 men in 1 big van and 2 men in 2 small vans and I have come down on side of 2 men in 2 small vans as more flexable on  day to day operating.

was thinking about that but may solve that by placing tank on a 1/2 inch batton on non outlet end of tank before boxing tank in .... may reduce capacity though so not sure yet ?

i have a hose inside my tank, so i can get down to the last 1/2 inch.

I had a 400L upright and now have a 400L flat due to vehicle change and not being able to bolt the upright down as i was borrowing the latest van.

The 400L causes alot more movment and you have to think where you park as when it gets low you get airlocks

Going to go back to an upright. Its a personal choice really and will depend on space

[dannymack]

Upright all the way gives ya more space in the van !!!

400l and a 625kg payload means you could very easily exceed the payload of the van.

yes your right you could ... if you didnt know what you were doing and didnt act responsibly 

[james51174]

if your worried about space...flat tanks can be boarded over to use the top of it for starage

[Dave Willis]

Upright if it's fitted properly. Layflat if your strapping it yourself.
