Car Forum / Land Rover Cars / December 2006LPG tank on 110 CSW - where?
Hello all, I've decided to have LPG installed on the 110, rather than swap her for a diesel. I'd prefer to keep the full sized petrol tank if possible, so where would I have the LPG fitted? I want as big a tank as possible, but have no idea where to suggest siting it (assuming the fitters have no clue, or want to replace some seating with one...) Alternatively, I have a fuel tank that will fit under the RH front seat, but the filler tube would come up behind the seat, and there is no room for a filler between the doors. So really it isn't an alternative at all.

So really it isn't an alternative at all. yes it is, you put the filler on the back of the front wing, between the door post and the wheel arch. Best bet is a tank where the petrol/diesel tank is at the back - you should be able to get an 80l one in there. Then you want a small reserve petrol tank, really - that can go inside the back wing - I got most of the way through making one once - it was a 1-ft cube, with the original filler spout bit that fits in the body welded into the top at a suitable angle. You can go with twin side tanks, make sure you shield the gas pipes where the cross the exhaust though.  SignatureAustin Shackles. www.ddol-las.net my opinions are just that In Touch: Get in touch with yourself by touching yourself. If somebody is watching, stop touching yourself. from the Little Book of Complete B***ocks by Alistair Beaton. There's also twin 'torpedo' tanks that fit along the inside of the chassis. This slightly decreases clearance, but not that much, and allows all original load spaces and tankages to be unaltered. It does cost more though.

Enough to stop any serious off roading if thats your cup of Tea, as a result our Disco rarely leaves the Tarmac.

The ones fitted to a friends Rang Rover Classic don't impact as much as those affecting your Disco. It certainly can off road quite usefully, though I suppose it depends what you mean by serious off roading. The sort of off roading that would be compromised by the tanks on his car would be the sort you'd probably not want to do with anything you wouldn't damaged anyway.

Sort of like.... <http://www.zen79997.zen.co.uk/pictures/derbyshire/imagepages/image42.html> Hence why we used the 101 and more recently 110 for this kind of stuff as the Disco is too nice to roger. Size also matters, ours has twin 45 litre tanks, now I guess the tank would survive a collision with a rock but it's likely that the straps would get ripped off and the connections damaged as a result. Driving down your average rutted track won't pose problems as the tanks will be in the rutts too. It's cresting ridges that have you bellied out in next to no time.

Mandy is due on Jan 4th, but I won't be surprised if he puts in an appearance in time for Christmas.

You can get twin 40s, which take up less space by being smaller diameter, but obviously mean you can't get as much gas on board.
