Hi All,

What size containers do you use on your trolleys i use 25 litre but im sure you could use bigger ones and where do you get them ??

[H h20]

I use 25,30 and a 60 litre
the 30 litre are from here
www.outdoormegastore.co.uk
and the 60 litre is one of these

i find they are all useful rather than have just one size,Gaz

If you're manhandling them then I reckon 25 litres is a sensible max size. So my trolley carries one or two at one time. (see here at www.window-tools.com)

malc,

i use 25 litres already but after 10 mins i need to change them however i do use a car on my round so maybe id be better off getting a van and using van mount what would you recomend tank wise for an escort van 250lts maybe ?

when i first started out i had a 250ltr tank in my van and about 5or six 25ltr drums to top it up as it went down. lasted nearly a day but quite often had to go back and fill up from my tank in the garage.
then i put a 650 ltr in it but after a few days realised i was being really silly and got a bigger van!! :

Same for me , 175 L and 6 x 25 L drums in an old astra van , it never wanted to stop !

I reckon that 250 litres would be absolute maximum for an Escort (assuming Escort 55 rather than 75).  Even then, I would say make sure you don't carry a passenger when your water tank is more than half full.  It might be an idea to put everything into the van that you will need then, with an empty tank, go to a weighbridge.  This will tell you if you can fill up the tank (remember that the diesel counts toweards the total.)

my van was pointing skyward first thing in the morning, knew when the tank was empty as i could see the road in front ,not the clouds
