Think the payload is a tonne? Although I guess it would be a pig to drive with that much in the back, also think it would be way to big a tank if you had a truckman top on it.

I bought a new warrior in 2004 and it had the turning circle and fuel economy of the QE2. Px'ed it in 2006 for a new shape Animal and looked like a pikey.There is no room in the back and poles have to go on the roof.It was totally impractable. Don't waste your money.Buy a nice van!

Are you supposed to close the tailgate with those reels on it or do you lift them off first?

Don't mate! You'll look a tool!

They're for farmers to put sheep and bales in.
That is all.

Go for it mate, i wish i had. Ive got 2 little ones, so the vivaro was ideal with 3 seats, but still if the wife needs to come in the van theres no room.

They make skid tanks too like this



As seen on gardiners site http://www.gardinerpolesystems.co.uk/acatalog/Skid_and_Saddle_Tanks.html

What's the point of a skid tank? Is it so it can be removed with a forklift when full or what, because i would think it would be advisable to bolt it down too.  ???
Now if they came with a quick release system of securing and unbolting then they would be good as for dual purpose vehicle. However, that's a lot of weight to lift in and out.

I love my l200. There not as thirsty as some think. 55 miles to a tenner now fuel has come down. Ive got a gardiners pole that collapses down to 5 ft and that lays flat in the back. Ive got a hard top on the back so everything can be locked up. I use a backpack and barrels. Nice height to get backpack on and off. Alls good. pikies round my way drive transit vans not pick ups.

I dont know how they are fitted, i thought thy were bolted down? Im sure when i was looking Alex sent me some pics of the fittings for them.

They also do this



Which "Skid frame can be bolted down or fixed with ratchet straps"

Ratchet would be great as could just lift out.

The L200 or pickup wouldve been ideal for me as i live right out in the country and i get my vivaro stuck everywhere lol!

Im still looking at getting one when i get bigger.

Just need some proper heavy duty cast brackets that could be bolted through the chassis - just loosen them off from above and swing out of the way. Why can't suppliers manufacture something so we can fit these tanks to our vans and whip them out at the weekend for removals/holidays or whatever? Probably need half a dozen fitting kits - VW, Transit, Vivario, Citroen, L200, Toyota.
