I would get a bulkhead for the van and use ratchet straps,most vans if not all have points for strapping some have 4 some have 6 points for this.If you have 4 i would put the tank against the bulkhead and use 2 straps in an X shape over the tank from corner to corner.

The new lwb dispatch is the same size as a trafic i think and takes 1200 kg engines up 136bhp, for any details KEV as he has one

[seandyer2003]

do you guys leave the van doors open when you are working or do you take the hose reel out?? or is the hose reel bolted inside?

[STEVE-UK]

ive got one reel inside the sliding door bolted down,i can still close the door and lock it on the secondary latch,
one in the back which can be used in or out the van, for this i drilled a whole in the floor and put some hose connection through the towing eye

[seandyer2003]

they off the same pump?? or seperate??

[STEVE-UK]

there off the same pump ,you can get away with 2 people running at the same time if you have the 5 litre per minute pump

[alanwilson]

actually you can get a 650 tank in an Expert - we have an expert HDI (900kg payload)

full tank of water plus equipment (but no ladders) came in on the weighbridge at 2281kg - gross vehicle weight is 2315kg.

The new vans are totally different in payloads,i thought you were originally on about the old version.

[alanwilson]

yes thats what we have - its an 03plate.

new ones have an even bigger payload of 1000kg to 1200kg

[ftp]

we have been told that a dispatch or scudo would do it are they the same size as a vivaro

There lying,you cannot put that tank in that size van.

That's funny because i have been using a 650ltr tank in my Despatch for the last eighteen months or more - 900kg payload.

If it`s the old 1 your overloaded.

[alanwilson]

NWH are you thick?  I've told you what model it is - told you I have been to the weighbridge with it fully loaded with water and me in it, all equipment etc on board and you still tell me I'm overloaded!! 

Fact is a fact  - I'm not overloaded, nor is anyone else who has the 900kg+ models.

[NWH]

Maybe i`m thick then lol,i`ve been in 1 of them with 650ltrs on board and for a minute i though i was cruising out of Dover docks, i wouldn`t want to be driving 1 of them with that amount of water.

[AuRavelling79]

I know three users of old shape (07 and earlier) Scudo, Dispatch, Expert Vans and they all have 650L tanks with 900kg payloads.

You do need to be careful if you're two up tho'.

A good freind of mine has just got a sportsline 174,in black they don`t look to flashy compared to silver i think.The trafic does tick a lot of boxes for me although the sportsline is what i want really,people keep telling me 22k is a lot of money for a work van lol.

I would buy it!!! You'll never beat a Transporter!

[geefree]

got an expert with 650 litres in it, and i hate it.... it dont pull.... when i brake, i think i may drown.... and when i take a corner i thinks going over....... and i feel sorry for it sat on its arse at the back for two hours until i can relieve some of its load.... poor bugger. 

looking for a transit now.
