No, but there's probably a few on here that're running their boys out of fire-engines.

Any thing over 3.5t is a pain as you need an operators licence which is hassle in its self then somewhere to park it, cpc, digi card etc

The only extra bit of kit we take to large commercials is a Merlin and a di vessel

or fit a tow bar and get a trailer, and put a tank in that. At least then it is detachable when you don't need it.

Tbh richy, I only have a 350 litre tank in my van, I also have 10 barrels, again using the Merlin on the job just keeps topping your tank up with the barrels. On a job am on ATM I start off with a full tank, and a barrel fills up every 21 mins at 12 tds. By the time I am near empty I have quite a few barrels full.

I will try an put a pic up.
