Regular Member flutterbudget Posted November 12, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted November 12, 2010 What is the smallest vehicle you've used to move an empty 55? I think I may have found a deal too good to pass up, but I'm not sure how to get it here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member number20121 Posted November 12, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted November 12, 2010 We put ors in the back seat of my hubby's Nissan sentra. It was kinda tight and we had to close the back door very carefully, but it worked. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member flutterbudget Posted November 12, 2010 Author Regular Member Share Posted November 12, 2010 Woooo... That's close. I drive a two door honda civic. It would technically fit, but I don't know aobut the angle of getting it in. Might be able to borrow my mother-in-law's PT cruiser. It's a 55 and stand for $45. I think I might have to find a way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member number20121 Posted November 12, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted November 12, 2010 I just put a rolled up blanket on the backseat to have the tank be more up straight. That is a really good deal that you found there! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member flutterbudget Posted November 12, 2010 Author Regular Member Share Posted November 12, 2010 unless I can disassemble the stand, or borrow a bigger car, I think I'll for sure have to make two trips. But I think I can make it work. I think we are going to look at it tonight. I'm all excited. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily the iron stand could be disassembled so we just put the pieces in the trunk together with all the equipment and had to do only one trip. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin koko Posted November 12, 2010 Admin Share Posted November 12, 2010 Me to I was amazed how snug it was in the back of the Nissan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member number20121 Posted November 12, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted November 12, 2010 A couple times it made a scary noise, then I figured out it was the cloth bag with the two heaters inside that I put in the tank during transport.

Regular Member flutterbudget Posted November 13, 2010 Author Regular Member Share Posted November 13, 2010 I asked for dimensions because I was't sure how much bigger the stand might be than the tank, and because I find a lot of people don't really know the size of their tanks. He says it's 48 inches long and 24 inches deep. Now I'm wondering if it could be a 75 ?!?!?!? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member flutterbudget Posted November 14, 2010 Author Regular Member Share Posted November 14, 2010 We took my mother-in-law's PT Cruiser because it was about 45 min away and I didn't want to make two trips if I could help it. and It JUST fit side by side with the stand in there. And it's definitely a 75. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin koko Posted November 14, 2010 Admin Share Posted November 14, 2010 Im so glad you find a car that could hold that size...

Regular Member austinado16 Posted November 25, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted November 25, 2010 LOL.....you scored a 75 (or bigger), plus a stand for $45!! Right on! You're going to love seeing the fish in that, and you have plenty of room for a cool 3D background if you're so inclined!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
