diesel price

Not many Trannys will cope with the 4 and3/4 tonnes of 5000 litres plus tanks!

And you actually sat there and worked out its weight ROFL.
Well I have to disagree as Mod Your Transit's new height adjustable suspension system for the Transit MK5, 6 and 7 should help me with the weight issue.
You can call Mod Your Transit or visit them at www.modyourtransit.co.uk

Not a hard sum:- diesel floats on water and is therefore thinner. Not as thin as petrol. Guess its around 80% the weight of water, which, as we all know is 1 kilogram per litre. By the time you add tankage, it has to be over five tonnes (a tonne is 1000 kilos, a ton is around 37 pounds (18 kilo more))
Wheres your five ton transit?
Now I know a transit will carry it , if you can get it in, but its not very legal.

Even more to the point, a connect, which is still a focus WONT carry it, and I dont think you could get it in either!
By the way, I still need to know if the 1.8tdci is good on veg oil.

Diesel price is £1.38 at Murco in stoke ferry today, so I filled the tank right up & went back again & filled the tank in my Vauxhall Insignia first thing this morning

They were very busy with loads of people queing to get fuel, But when I went passed late this afternoon prices was back up to £1.41

Peter, I'd drive the 2470 miles there, fill up and bring loads of it back in the Transit. Of course trying to avoid customs on the way back as I would not want to be clobbered with 5000 litres of fuel duty to pay!!
But seriously we are being ripped off left right and centre in the UK.

what in the connect

as for size, 5000 litres is 5 cubic metres !!!

Transits Connects (T220 legal maximum payload weight is less then 1ton (825Kg to be exact) - (T200 is 625Kg) - NO CHANCE IN TO GET 5000 LITRES IN THERE

Even the New Transit 350 LWB legal maximun payload weight is only 1.7ton (1794KG to be exact) - WOULD FIT BUT IS ONE HELL OF A TANK !! AS IT WOULD TAKE UP THE WHOLE LOADING SPACE (FROM SEATS TO REAR DOORS & FROM FLOOR TO ROOF)
