That’s really interesting and good to see. Because you mentioned it being an older van, I did a quick check -which showed this is ULEZ compliant. My previous and current van have been historic because for a long time I couldn’t afford something compliant.
@@sorchajones1788 BX58DYM is not ULEZ compliant. Which vehicle did you check? But I have written a document regarding the Cost Benefit Analysis of whether it’s worth getting euro 6 or paying the £12.50! I really just need the time to publish. It’s fascinating.
@@basevanmy bad, thank you for correcting me. I now see that I checked the first van, not the one this is about. Apologies! Do take my comment off if it will mislead your customers. Glad to hear you got that article written- you mentioned it to me last year when I rang one day. My interest is because I’m in London, if I get a van big enough to live in, I’m pretty attached to it I’d like still to be able to stay there.
Hi, Absolutely amazed at this van s milage , it also looks so good. Question- how many miles would you get on a full tank of diesel & roughly how much would it cost to fill up to full? Grt video even though you had probs with your phone 📱.👋🏴Jan
@@jansweeney1333Hey Jan, thank you for the continuous questions on my videos. Your commitment has lead me to giving you a comprehensive response. Hopefully it’s not too confusing. 1. Cost to Fill Up the Tank • Fuel Tank Capacity: 80 liters • Diesel Cost per Liter: £1.30 • Total Cost to Fill Up: 80 \text{ liters} \times £1.30 = £104 So, it costs £104 to fill up an 80-liter tank. 2. Total Distance on a Full Tank • Fuel Efficiency: 32 miles per gallon (mpg) • Conversion: 1 UK gallon = 4.546 liters • Total Gallons in Tank: \frac{80 \text{ liters}}{4.546 \text{ liters per gallon}} \approx 17.6 \text{ gallons} • Total Distance: 17.6 \text{ gallons} \times 32 \text{ mpg} = 563.2 \text{ miles} So, the van can travel approximately 563 miles on a full tank. 3. Cost per Mile • Total Cost per Tank: £104 • Total Distance: 563 miles • Cost per Mile: \frac{£104}{563 \text{ miles}} \approx £0.18 \text{ per mile} Therefore, it costs around 18 pence per mile to drive the van. Summary • Cost to Fill Up: £104 • Miles on a Full Tank: 563 miles • Cost per Mile: £0.18
@ Hi, Thanks for that specific answer of which helps me understand a future van s rough running costs that I would be looking at. I also appreciate not all vans would be of such low mileage. Have a good day. 👍🏴
its a shame you now have to register just to view anything more than the first picture of a van, looking for one at the moment and turning away from basevan now because I don't want to register just to look, no other platform requires this.

1. Cost to Fill Up the Tank
• Fuel Tank Capacity: 80 liters
• Diesel Cost per Liter: £1.30
• Total Cost to Fill Up:
80 \text{ liters} \times £1.30 = £104
So, it costs £104 to fill up an 80-liter tank.
2. Total Distance on a Full Tank
• Fuel Efficiency: 32 miles per gallon (mpg)
• Conversion: 1 UK gallon = 4.546 liters
• Total Gallons in Tank:
\frac{80 \text{ liters}}{4.546 \text{ liters per gallon}} \approx 17.6 \text{ gallons}
• Total Distance:
17.6 \text{ gallons} \times 32 \text{ mpg} = 563.2 \text{ miles}
So, the van can travel approximately 563 miles on a full tank.
3. Cost per Mile
• Total Cost per Tank: £104
• Total Distance: 563 miles
• Cost per Mile:
\frac{£104}{563 \text{ miles}} \approx £0.18 \text{ per mile}
Therefore, it costs around 18 pence per mile to drive the van.
Summary
• Cost to Fill Up: £104
• Miles on a Full Tank: 563 miles
• Cost per Mile: £0.18

I agree. We are changing this shortly! The website is very much in progress.
Thank you for the feedback - means a lot.

@@basevan sounds good, will keep an eye on it as I do like the way you prep the vans and happy to show the underneath to the customer. 👍
@@jsitch81thanks again. Thanks for the comments I really do make changes and address things from them.
