Depends on how big of a tank you want. 2900 lwb Vivaro would legally carry a 650l tank, 3 people and other bits and bobs. It would carry an 850l tank with 2 people, just, anymore you would probably be overloaded. This is just a tank not with R/O and filters etc

Had more vans than I care to remember, but I've just bought a new transit custom and it's by far the best van I've ever driven and has loads of room for my tank etc

Hi Steve was thinking of getting a transit custom what sort of deal did you get, and what model ?

I love the transit but alot of dosh and security issues are somewhat, interesting.

I live the look of the new citroen dispatch.

I would hazard a guess that the transit is a better van though.

I have no idea the timer is broken

maybe I should have gone for the 2 litre

its been a great van so far to be fair but most of my work is 30 miles each way on the motorway and if you add the miles on the van, new tyres more often, fuel, it starts to add up

yeh ive got a 57 scudo same engine.

Its only average on fuel.

I dont know what it does must be about 30-35 mpg ?

Takes a bit of revving, they are not reet powerfull, wish i had the 2.0 myself

My kangoo 1.5dci is a very efficient engine.. so much so that the same engine in my brother in laws 06 clio is only 30 quid a year road tax for a turbo diesel

I get around 40mpg averaging out my short and long distance runs

They can do 54mpg driven properly

Yeah just wondering how much difference the 2.0 litre would make

wheres spruce when you need him

If it helps, I've got the 2.0 Hdi dispatch (got it for the higher payload) and last year on average I got 65 miles to £10. The year before I got an average of 75 miles to £10 (13p a mile - about 55mpg I think) but my turbo is knacked hence the lower mileage this year.

Round the doors my old Vivaro costs around 24p a mile. On a run it costs around 18p, but I don't hang around.
