A 100 gallons of water weighs 834 lbs.
can a 3/4 ton handle that much extra weight?

I’ll bet by the time you add the tank weight, hoses, fittings etc, you’d be tipping the scale at 900 plus…
Depending on the total weight of ALL equipment, chems and passengers, what is the maximum amount the van can carry?
Load it NOW, less the fresh tank, go to a weight scale, do the math…
That will determine what size of tank they can install.

I have an Everest and 90 Gal. In my 2500 with no issues.
I have a really large one in my Lima Bean Special. I think it's 175 gallons. I like it.

I beg to differ. I bet it's over loaded.
Reminds of the time, a guy's tires caught on fire because his truck was overloaded.. I extinguished the fire for him with my Vortex.
Then the Fire crew showed up. I left the scene before they accused me of "illegal dumping".

Tires have a weight limit as well. And might want to beef up the suspension as well.
GVW is the total fully weight. NOT the Payload amount.

| Ford Transit Cargo Van Trims | Curb Weight |
|---|---|

| 350 | 4,985 - 5,821 lbs. |
| 350 HD | 5,743 - 6,053 lbs. |
I'm going to presume the high wt variations are are hi-top models
the 250 have a 4000 pound payload capacity
the 350 is less
????looks like a 250 is more than enough.
and the only reason to pay extra for the 350 is the ability to go dually axle and really bump up capacity
I don't know about the inferior brand vans....

Curb weight IS NOT the payload weight. It's the weight of the empty vantrue dat, PeeJay

I was lucky enough when I bought my Apex, it came with a factory fresh water tank. I believe it's aprox 90 gallons. I can fill it from the top as I'm doing here, attach a hose to a fitting and it will stop when full and what nice, there is a overflow plumbed into the truck so that you can't overflow it. This is the first truck mount that I have had a decent sized fresh tank and loving it so far. We have good water access here, so not really necessary but it eliminates setting up a fresh hose every job.
You brought it up, Tubby Tommy

I know this is peppered with sarcasm…
If you get into an accident, your or their fault, the insurance company proves you are running OVER weight, your insurance is nul and void…you or the company is on the hook for damages and any lawsuit that entails….
