As many of you know, I run a swb Citroen Relay van. I have a 650 liter upright Wyedale tank inside the back which runs length ways.
The problem is that I have a section of 'dead space' in the area behind the bulkhead on the driver's side which isn't easily accessable.
I've see many who have their tank fitted width ways. The issue with the Relay/Boxer/Ducato is that a 650 liter tank mounted width ways behind the bulkhead will overload the front axle load weights with the tank full, fuel tank full and 2 operators in the front seats.
Positioning the tank width ways further back toward the rear axle will reduce front axle overloading. This will also leave a small passage of space across the van in the front but doesn't make storage of items ideal due to accessability.
Has any heard of or seen anyone who had a tank fitted diagonally across the van with the front of the tank into the corner behind the drivers seat? My thoughts are that it could help make access to storage easier. Yes one would be left with 2 pointed 'triangles' of space but I would wonder if those aren't such a big issue.
