Title: LPG TANK
Post by: ffcgary1 on 16 March 2011, 00:47:10
Today, my Jeep went into Arun Autogas, in chichester for the tank to be removed
and replaced with a bigger tank.
The 55 ltr tank is being replaced by a 90ltr tank in the boot behind the rear seats.
It will take up a bit more room but it does not matter as i only use the Jeep for offroad fun so boot not important.
With the 55 ltr tank i could only manage 130 miles and the way it likes to home in on petrol stations i decided to get a bigger capacity.
They have recently converted my dads 3.2 elite and have made a stunning job of the install. Very neat as well and drives like it should.
They are servicing the front end as well and have done me a deal on a second hand tank but have had to pay for a new valve but thats all,
the cost to me £250 all in.
I pick it it up on sat morning as i cant get down before then but as i have the estate it's not a concern.

Cant wait to get her back. :y

They will prob put the price up now as they wont be selling as much.
My nearest outlet put the price up to 85pence a litre about a week ago, when i went in  noticed the pump price and said to the lad behind the till that at least Dick Turpin wore a mask.

The following day i passed by and the price had gone down to 79.9.
