My answer was just more conciseQuoteQuoteA mate of mine had something called "torpedo tanks" fitted, went behind the cills on his Disco, can these be fitted to a meega ??No...
Just a thought ...
Just to expand on Jaimes correct answer.....under sill or under wheel arch tanks can only be fitted on hight up vehicles.....ie 4x4's for example....you have to have the clearance underneath to take them.
Omega wise.....saloon....big tank in the boot.....taking up to 1/3 of the space (70L tank) or estate like mine....raise the boot floor up a couple of inches and you can get a donut tank in (38L tank)
Sorry, I was in a hurry

Another 2 (buzz) words - Carbon Neutral - government said some time ago that it wanted to reduce energy used in homes, and easiest way to do that is to increase the tax.Quote.. and call me cynical but I swear the government are just waiting for a few more people to take it up before they spin some shock horror story about it being just as bad for the environment as petrol and whack up the duty on LPG.
Then again, I was saying that 8 years ago when I bought my last car and pondered an LPG conversion, then didn't bother.
That had a horizontal spare wheel well too.

It's a shame there aren't more tank options for the saloon because I'd convert mine if it didn't mean losing half the boot.Yeah, losing the boot means running on wet fart juice isn't an option for me. But I doubt there is enough space in place of 75l petrol tank for a decent lpg tank - bearing in mind you'll still need a 30l-ish tank for those times when you can't get fart juice.
I'm surprised no-one has considered exchanging the petrol tank for something smaller and using the space thus saved for an LPG tank. I guess that's down to having to engineer a different solution for each car but there are companies around that'll make custom fuel tanks in either plastic or aluminium for reasonable money.
How much range could you get out of a doughnut tank in the spare wheel recess?

if you dont need the boot then may be worthwhile. imho, it takes too much room.
my fuel costs are same as yours James, but I stick to petrol for performance, convenience, I like my boot, and I take it to France on the tunnel trains (lpg banned)

2.7p's worth (inc VAT)The migration to the new server should be complete tomorrow, which should lead to more consistent, better performance, and better stability (and I shouldn't have to spend so much time constantly nursing it!)
Damned marvelous tonight ..
Thank you for your unsung hard work

but i like thoseQuoteYes, its the server. Please accept my apologies. Believe me, I have been working to resolve it all evening, but there is only one solution... ...but I am having to do something on the server which is increasing load in order to resolve it. Do not expect any improvement tonight, sorry.
Can't you just run Doom 2 and Escape from Castle Wolfenstein on another machine, just for tonight?

ipmp? You can tell I've been playing Solaris networking all day. I meant ICMP.QuoteDon't take too much notice of traceroute times - ipmp packets have quite a low priority on the routers here...Quote2 mins upwards here to load pages...Thats not an issue here.
In addition to the issues with the main YaBB server, the Images server seems to be a bit sluggish as well though...
Actually, thinking about it, I sure the front end router is set to drop icmp echo requests/replies destined for it anyway :-/
