I think you would be running things pretty tight myself if you want to fill that tank.  OK, if you are a lightweight, carry the minimum of equipment, and keep the fuel tank lowish you may well be OK with it.  I reckon on a minimum of 500kg over and above the weight of the water for a single operator.  Mind you, I am a Billy Bunter and I do carry a fair bit of kit at times.
Tip:  Load all the kit you would normally carry, fill up the fuel tank, and while sitting in the van, get it weighed at a local weighbridge - while empty of water.  Deduct the weight on the bridge from the gross vehicle weight and that will tell you how many litres you can put in that tank (1kg per litre).

IMO you would be a bit over, especially if you start with full trolley and full tank.

Way I work it out is to take 300 off the payload to give the max size of tank - e.g 610-300 gives a 310 litre carrying capacity, though may take you over limit if you carry a passenger. Also depends on your weight and how heavy ladders are etc.

i might have to get a 800kg payload berlingo instead just to be on the safe side

[the bfg]

you can always go on a diet 

just joking mate

If you go for 800kg payload get a 500l tank. If you think it will take you a bit over don't fill it right up. (Should be OK without trolley though).

cheeky sod i only weight 10.5 stone. i just want to make sure i get the right motor for the job i don't want to spend £7500 on a motor thats no good the what i need

[dazmond]

i go off  ROUGHLY half the payload of the van in question.

eg

     VAN 625KG/TANK 300L

     VAN 800KG/TANK 400L

youll be surprised at how much everything else weighs and also you dont wanna be right on the limit anyway.not good for the suspension or brakes etc!

Sorry dazmond but that doesn't really make sense.

With the 625kg payload you have an extra 325 kg capacity to allow for equipment.

With the 800kg payload 400kg capacity.

If it was a 1000kg payload you would have an extra 500kg capacity.

The weight of your equipment should still be the same. (The tank won't be that much heavier).

me kangoo can hold 400ltrs water mostly the water is based central at back of the front seats can distribute load better that way
