do you fill up at night?

Do you fill your tank the night before?
It would be better, just wondering about leaving that much weight on the suspension. Thanks.

No not bothered I fill  up just before leaving, go around to yard about 5 mins away fill up takes about 5 mins at most
Then go get a coffee from McDonald's, then see what work sheets I've got from my wife

Although at moment torn a bi-cep so no work 2-3 weeks 😢

Depends what I fell like really as it don't take long if left to the morning to fill up the van tanks with pure from a static setup.
If you are worried about the van suspension then sounds to me you should be looking for a more suitable larger max payload van.

Speaking of which I often see my mate Lance little vans on the road with their arses dragging along the floor  ;D

I always fill up in the morning as I worry about the suspension. had my Dispatch just over 10 years now and so far no problems with suspension - I have a 600l tank.

I used to fill up in van due to keeping my 350gpd ro in van and filtered straight into tank. So topped up my 500ltr tank, due to little storage space in yard. However ive worked round that now, and to pump adequate water from static into van is less than 5mins (unless hose shoots out n floods my van again). So i usually do in morning whilst  sorting kids for school.
I av a scudo 815payload but 56 plate, x council purchased last yr. But its behind was droopy with full tank. Havent spare money at mo with 3 bady due any day now! So i stuck some rubber suspension wrap around on and has helped tremendously. So dont like to carry much weight at mo. So i fill up each morning.

First thing in the morning , takes 5 mins transferring it from storage to van . One of the advantages of doing this in winter , the water isn't as cold in storage all night as much is it is in the van all night . I learnt that after I started cleaning in -1 I think it was and as soon as the water hit the window , it just turned to ice - rather like when you put your windscreen washer on and your windscreen turns to ice  :)

I top/fill my tank up overnight. R.o straight into tank on van from shed.  I have a 500 tank but generally 350 does me a day. I just put it on a timer and estimate how long I need to leave it on to fill. Rarely it overflows I could fit a ball cock to shut it off but can't be bothered my drive slopes down wards and I have holes drilled in my van floor so if it does overflow a bit it doesn't flood.
