Only other consideration, is, say, an 80litre tank still leaves a part of the through space to put long items through. Which a 100litre will cirtainly block completely.

Oh, and the extra weight.

But other than that, bigger the better.

Looks good actually. I've obviously misinterpreted some other comments about fitting

My comments are purely about actually fitting it into the car and fixing it down. Can be done easily enough though, just adds to the fitting time

I had a 90L, 400mm diameter (same as the 100L) tank in my saloon and it wasn't as straightforward to fit as the 80L ones but easily doable As Chris says though, you do lose the through-load capability completely though

Just fitted a 90 litre tank in my saloon. It's a bit of a pain as the Bose black tray does require removing to fit. I guess I could of got a 100 litre tank to fit but you are going to be might tight up to the shock mounts and it may make getting the spare wheel in and out difficult. If you want a easy install fit a 80. If you like a challenge 90 or bigger.

Thanks for that 
If its a DIY job then I guess it may be an 80l tbh, but we'll see.
I'll need to address the certification issue first I guess, or the choice will be taken away from me.

Im still wondering why someone decided to put a 60L in mine.I did originally have plans to put a bigger one in,but Ive got used to the 200 mile (on a good day) range,and dont use the car much these days anyway.

90L here, 370-420 range depending. Still got space to put things through, such as my snowboard (but with the bindings removed)

Mine is too long though. Asked for 80L gave me 90L, it's not as far back as I would like. Gives nice storage behind back seats though to tank. Managed to squeeze small jack in there!

Spare wheel access is my only concern with the 100L tank

Anyone with an Elite should seriously consider repositioning the Bose amp, and binning the stupid bloody Bose shelf.

Ive recently fitted a bose amp complete with stupid bloody shelf.

Silly arse

The wiring is long enough to remount the Bose in the rear cubby hole, where the CD Changer sits in PFL, but the shelf speaker wiring needs extending.

Couldnt be arsed.

Interesting ......... and poor Albs 

The Kit we use is called OMVL. in a reply from the company contacted. Any knowledge of it? Oh, and they DO remove the manifold!

OMVL is an AEB based kit so lots of support around the country It's a low to mid range kit really but very capable and as good or better than the Stag kit
