Help!

Hi all, I would like to put a together a van mount water fed system. I recently saw the following being sold on craigslist. I would like feedback on whether or not I should purchase this tank for the incredible low price. Thus, what pitfalls I should look for.
Note: just below the the word Ignore: is a lot of info, perhaps to much info.
Used once totes in great condition. No oil. Water soluble vegan non-gmo syrup only.

Depth 47.25 inches/1200mm, Width 39.5 inches/1000mm Height with skid 47 inches/1160mm

1000 liter / 275 Gal capacity

Gross empty weight 126 lb/57 kg

Quantities available vary constantly.

We regularly have totes becoming available from incoming ingredients. Some totes are virtually new, having been used only once for import.

These were used once and contained water soluble tapioca fiber syrup. Gluten Free, Non-GMO, Vegan, Kosher. Easy and safe to clean and re-use.

Too big. Water is ~8.3lbs/gallon or 1kg/liter. Even if I had the capacity for it, Iā€™d never carry more than 65 gallons or so of pure water. Makes more sense to filter on-site at higher quantities, imo.

Those totes make for nice power washing buffer tanks, though. Fill on site, drain before towing.
