400L in the back of an estate car!! Do you have a wish to break your car and or yourself? That'd be over 400Kg in the boot, have you checked what amount of weight you can carry in your car?

hi i remember back last year when i still used the car for work and its a large estate car put in the boot about 300litres of water it sank a lot so i think you best be carefull how much you fill that 400litre tank. callum

[dougster]

Wot car U got?

My mate (let's call him dogdy dave) has a peugout 405 and he sometimes slides a 400L tank in the back with the seats down. Even he won't go more than 300 litres in it as the suspension starts rubbing!
I hate to think what would happen in a crash.

My honda estate (mondeo sort of size) has a 125L tank in the far back plus a 25L barrel too (and battery, 30m hose and pump). The tank is up against the wheel arches so can't go forwards. On the back seat, on a wooden platform secured by seatbelts live my empty trolley and shurflo back pack.

On the front passenger seat in a frame lives a 25L barrel and in the front footwell live two more. So I carry 240 litres spread evenly and well secured. It's not enough really and a van will arrive in time!

(May be a big volvo type estate and you could stretch to 300 litres max spread correctly in my opinion)

I hate to ask again, but people have kid of diverted from the original topic and moved onto a tank in the back of an estate car.
If anyone does have advise on tank fixings, I would be very gratefull.

I have a volvo 850 estate and believe me 250 ltrs is your max, even at that it's sitting on it's arse

well if i struggle with the estate to carry 250 ltr, it looks like the wife is gonna loose the new nissan navarra, and end up with my old banger after all the business is paying for it ha ha
