i might well be mad and crazy here, but my wfp system 250 litre tank fits in the back of my estate car and i think it could work, as long as the hose reel isnt fastned, and theres also room for the di vessel to stand up straight, (just!) Could this work??? weight and all? even if i had to just half fill it and top up at lunch??

[pjulk]

Yes it will work i know a chap who has a 250ltr in his volvo estate car and work perfectly well from it.

[andyatkinson]

thank you paul griffin you are a wonderfull man you've made my day!!!!!!!

I used a 175L (plus 2 x 25L barrels) in my Honda Estate!
I know a guy who put a 400L in his Pug 405 estate with the seats down!

But - safety in a crash would worry me.

[andyatkinson]

safety...hmmm good point thanks, damn it

Just one of you using it?

Phone your insurance company up and ask them.

You dont want it to be too late once the accident has happened, well so long as the tank doesnt break your back coming through your seat-back and the insurance co. are okay with it what else is there to concern yourself with?

[Oakley Windows]

Actually, let me re-phrase my post.

Are you mad?

Do you really think a tank strapped to your rear seats is a) legal,  b) safe c) roadworthy d) worth the risk of snapping your spine in the process of propelling you through your windscreen in the event of an accident as the straps fail to do what theyre intended.

I seriously cant believe others on here condone this.

You know the answer to this post already, its in the title.

[andyatkinson]

well thanks but i didnt know the answer already or i wouldnt have asked, the title to me was more of a space and weight issue. i needed the feed back. and appreciate it. noted
