Chris I've been trying to sort out a torrodial lpg tank for my estate as I'm waiting for a front end kit via Lazydocker's contact,been useing Kevin's link (reply156) and was surprised to find what I think you were looking for ie a vertical mounted torrodial tank it's  'Product range No is V12' on the website hope this info helps. I'm wanting one for the spare wheel well and thinking of raising the floor useing a fairly dense polystyrene to gain more capacity

My plan was to make a full size "platform" from ply wood and baton, then carpet it so it could be lifted in and out if required. Would have thought polystyrene would break up over time :-/ :-/

Not had an email with prices but, to be fair, the kit is vehicle specific as I have specified a few things that aren't normally in his kits and I know he had to check a few suppliers for the reducers to give a couple of options I'll be calling him tomorrow as Monday is always a nightmare for him

Don't forget access to the tank for emergency shut off , inspection etc.

Hence the lift out platform

Chris go to Kevins link on the L/H is Products click on 'LPG systems' then on R/H is 'vertical torrodial' aand hopefully your there a vertical with bracket and centre plate Its No is 'V12' sorry to be floundering not very good at this but trying my best

The polestyrene should be OK with a pvc skin bonded on I plan to top it with the original floor panel doing it this way I thought it would be fairly 'anti drum/sound deadening and lightweight too

Hmm just realised that very good access could be arranged useing the same access as the spare wheel door in the floor panel

Has hole in the middle, that's a service hatch in the middle that unscrews.

I'm sure that's what I said a page ago... nobody listens to me.. I'm ju*voice trails off, sniffles in the distance*

I was hoping for something like this

It has no center hole and no brackets which would make it suitable, but the 4 hole plate will be the wrong way up when the tank is positioned vertically.

Plus it needs to be in a size that fits of course.

If this fits, which I don't think it will
 
G65007714         650x270      77tank size       giving 61.6litre capacity      34.5      606      E20-67R-010570

61 litres is still pants range. But if the valve can be fiddled to not click off it could take almost 70 litres.

We're all learning here Cliffo, thanks for the thought though.

Right, whats the situation with these kits then.  I'm getting anxious to make a start on the Elite. I was looking at taking the car on a trip in 5 weeks or so, but nice not to have to use petrol.

Going by posts in the cam belt meet thread, LD is visiting Tilo just before the 26th to fit some trial parts for us fussy tinkers. I guess he'll have a verdict on the lag issue in farnborough. Then we can order if it works. Or order now and gamble? .... I guess? But yes my local petrol station is getting the arse with me crying on their forcourt.
