Older ... Fiat Doblo 1.3 diesel 2005/2006. Payload 736kg. Tax £135. Mpg 40. Get one with side doors - so much easier. Had mine 7 years with a 400L tank - not selling mind.

Newer ... Later Fiat Doblo same as above 2007 - 2010 but tax went up to about £195

Newest ... latest shape Doblo  choice of engines payloads 750 or 1000 kg
It's a game of three halves!

I don't like the look of them either.
They might be a good van, but I don't like the styling of them.

Is the 600kg Berlingo enough for a full 400L tank or do you have the 750/800kg one?

EDIT: Scratch that, it would be best to have side doors as well which I don't think the older Berlingos have.  I'm looking at a Doblo or a Combo now, thanks for the recommendations

I have a transit connect lwb 230 it has a 900kg payload, I have a 500l tank. Recently went over customers weighbridge with a full tank, reading was 2300kg, only 40kg less than my gvw. Gave me a bit of a shock, but the point is, imo, you need 800kg payload.
The current shape doblo and combo are the same vans, and while the doblo is available with a 1000kg payload, I have only ever seen them as a lwb version. For the combo, search the 2300 version, which are quite common, even as a swb and would handle your tank easily. You could probably get away with the standard 750kg payload version (with careful planning of what you carry), but if it was me, I would go for the 2300.
