Yep Elite Pete is right you cant get a 100 litres in a 100 litre tank

I have a 75 litre tank and it holds roughly 60 litres it does depend on when i fill it also.

If you fill it on a really cold night you can get a little more in, But if you dont drives it far and its a warm day next day the tank will Vent some of your gas as a safety feature

The lpg installer in Swindon can squeeze a 100L tank in an Omega saloon boot......thats about yer lot....width wise.....100L tank will hold 80L of LPG  

Tho if you dont want a boot at all........bung two 100L tanks in the boot   160L of LPG.....that'll give a big range

Just popped out for a measure.. and found a nice list of some tank sizes here: http://www.tinleytech.co.uk/sizes.html

940mm available between rear suspension turrets so a 400x930 tank gives TDs 100L maximum.

Spare wheel area looks like it'll take up to 250mm depth and will probably take 630mm diameter, maybe more, so that's a 60l vertical tank.

Tank size seems to be a big issue here...

See what you think to this

You can get a 100L in......it maybe different circumference to the one you have bunged in James  :-/

The installers that did mine.....wanted to put a 100L tank in behind the back seats.....but i didnt want that as being an estate its useless .....so settled for a tank 1/2 the size under boot floor

[JamesV6CDX]

My tank was effectively free, so I'm not complaining

DOn't fancy what will happen to the rear suspension

Thats why they have 75kg towball limits

[Kevin Wood]

Would be an impressive range. Full petrol tank gives 400 miles plus 800 out of the two LPG tanks?

As Martin says, I wouldn't want to try it with a car full of passengers though

[Kevin Wood]

Right, we have plenty of interest so I'll get back to the guy tomorrow and see what gives regarding a discount and how we can organise payment, delivery, etc.

There's quite a cluster of us in the South so I'm thinking I'll pick up those kits and distribute (possibly at an LPG party TBA).

Cheers,

Kevin

Definately interested .. but wouldn't know where (or how) to start !!

Well, neither would I have until I started to dig around a little. I'm hoping we will be able to get together for an LPG party somewhere, by which time a couple of us will have tackled the major issues so we'll be able to share a bit of knowledge around. Once a couple of cars have been tackled we'll know exactly where to drill the holes, route the pipes, etc. and it should be straightforward (as long as we don't all go for slightly different tank options, etc). I'm not sure we'll be able to get together and convert cars en-masse but we can certainly tackle the challengine parts of each install, make up any required bracketry in advance, etc. It remains to be seen how much time is required for each car but I'm sure there'll be plenty of advice available.

Just out of interest, there's a guy in Cannock breaking an Omega with LPG fitted. Cheap kit ?

New SGI kits are so cheap it's not worth messing with older stuff......

Agreed. Doesn't say what kit it's got on it. Probably a mixer though. Might be worth it for the tank but they're not huge money in comparison to the total cost anyway :-/
