Transit connect lwb
« on: July 16, 2008, 04:57:23 pm »
Im getting one of the above in the next few weeks and was wondering how many of you also use one for wfp. At the moment Im driving around in an old n reg transit lwb which has served me well but really doesnt look very professional what with all its rust. Its also too big with a 850 litre tank that I just dont need.
Im expecting to fit a 400 tank in the connect but is that the max I can go?
The old tank is up for sale if anyone is interested.

Did you have an upright tank to maximise the available space or is that the only way one will fit in?
Im going to weld some angle iron onto the floor plan then strap it down next to the bulk head. Does that sound ok ?

Hi Chris, whats occuring? Are you going to canvass the new houses (something maltings) near your gaff? There seems to be houses popping up all over south norfolk at the moment but I wonder whos got the money to buy them, we are heading for a recession arnt we?
As you can see Im buying a new van mine has just about had it. Bought it for £900 and trading it in for £700 so I think Ive done ok.

Phil the maltings have v.poor access seems that you will need to go thro them to get to the rear
