LPG Tank Prices
« on: 16 November 2009, 15:09:12 »
Just a quick one, whats the rough cost of the 3 main LPG tanks on their own? Donut/80L/100L

Still considering donut, but keep thinking how many times do i actually use the full capacticy of the boot. I do also have access to an Omega Estate  ::)

Cheapest option is the cylinder. IIRCC there's not a lot of difference (£10 rings a bell) between the 80 ans 100L tanks. I think the Vertical Torroidal works out about £150 or so more :-/ :-/

Should add... With the mileage you're intending to do I'd go for the 100L cylinder every time to reduce the number of visits to the pump :y :y

I've got a 90L :y :y

Was meant to be 80 but couldn't source one so I got a 90 instead. IIRCC it was about £200

Easy enough to mount a 100L in there? for the extra tenner its worth going all out i guess  :)

If you've got a Bose shelf it'll be easiest to remove it before fitting, then refit it at the end :y :y

Other than that I'd say probably... The 90 was a bit of a pain as the mounts fell in slightly awkward places but other than that was OK :y :y

Remember you can only fill to 80% ... so a 100 litre tank gets 80 litres in .. an 80 ltr tank gets 64 litres in .. thats only 16 litres difference...

16 litres = 3.5 galls .. at around 20 mpg thats only 70 miles difference .. not a huge amount ...

It's your choice obviously .. but is the extra work worth it ??
