minus-squaregrue@lemmy.worldMlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up22·1 month agoThere’s no way the roof rack is rated for that much weight (let alone sloshing around).
minus-squareAAA@feddit.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up10·1 month agoNot just the roof rack. The whole car is probably close to the max allowed weight. The container is seemingly at around 60%, so 600L. Gas is ~25% lighter than water, so we’re looking at something like 450kg. I don’t know the model, but a lot of similar or even bigger cars max out at +500kg (per specification). Most cars have less allowance. And this is just on the roof. Not counting the container, passengers and other stuff. Truly a marvel of engineering.
