the vans are not overweight when the tanks are full, the fuel tank is full and all equipment is on board and the worker, checked on a  weighbridge,

i must be well under then with a full 500L  tank,equipment and me in the morning(900kg payload).thanks for the heads up scrimble!

I'm surprised.  I would have thought that the fuel level would need to be kept down a bit.
Hey Scrimble.  Not knocking you.  It was just a bit of humour.

I know and I did have a chuckle at it,  Dazmond I can assue you dont carry the same equipment tank frame etc is different only way to tell is put your van on a weighbridge, I am lucky as a big job I go to they have a weigh bridge and every time I do the job the vans all get weighed before and after

8 weekly which model of transit custom did you get because upon looking at the brochure I cant see a 290 with a payload of 1160 they are less than that,  and considering you the size of your tank 750 to 800l it looks like your van is more than likely to be overweight than my combo van!

Sorry, it's 1114. I had realised before but didn't bother to correct it. But, 800 kilos max for a tank as full as I would fill it inc. weight of tank (we only use 700 litres between us now), 170 kilos for 2 people, say 50 kilos max for two reels & equipment, = 1020 at the start of the day. Even with a full tank we'd be under at the start of the day. Thanks for your interest though.

will be overweight by a few hundred kg your underestimating how much all your equipment will weigh, you should have dug deeper and bought a better van, 330 gypo custom wouldn't be overweight

I'm really not interested I just think its funny how some of the know it alls on this forum really don't, you made digs about my combo vans being overweight when they are infact not and your van will be

Too late as I bought this:

Obviously it's going to be hundreds of kilos overladen.
