I have a LWB Citroen Dispatch. It is fitted with an upright 500ltr tank. I only have ever need more for a full days commercial when I have been working with somebody else. I live in a soft water area so topping up is a good option for me. If I lived in a hard water area I would have a bigger tank, but 500 ltrs is all I ever need on my own

we have a pug expert HDI (900kg payload) with a 650ltr tank - its well within limits. 650 tank only holds 600ltrs (checked this on the weighbridge)

600ltr water = 600kg
tank = 45kg
driver = 80kg
all other equipment = 50kg (nowhere near that, more like 20kg)
fuel = 50kg
total = 825kg

thats a full tank, driver and tank of fuel.

when it was on the weighbridge there was a full tank of water, fuel, myself and scrooge (guy that works for me)

GVW was 62kg within limit.

And remember you are using that water up all day long - buy an Expert HDI, 650 tank and away you go.  If you have oney to burn consider a Brodex E650 and bargain with them, they will barter.
