100L tank, full of fuel will make a noticeable difference at the arse end, especially if the fuel tank is full too ;) Mind you... You wouldn't need to find weight to stick in there when the snow comes ;D

That said, all the extra weight would be right over the axle :y

I kind of wish I'd had the extra 10 L on mine but can't complain... I ordered a 80L but he couldn't source one quickly enough ;D

But, IIRCC, a 100L tank requires 6 bolts in the frame not 4 and 3 straps... Not a major problem though :y

Although I see what Kev means as it's over the axle obviously.

That is my biggest concern with getting an estate... Even with some clever work and raising the floor 70mm, I can't see a way to get more than a 71L tank in and it would drive me potty ::) ::)

A 100L tank adds 13Kg over an 80L tank, when full. Bu66er all. Yes, it's above the axle, so might contribute a bit of body roll, but it's not behind the axle like the petrol tank is. TBH, I think it makes no odds. We're taking about the same weight as 1/4 of a tank of petrol.

Surely the elite couldn't possibly have more body roll than it's already got ;D

Hadn't figured Elite suspension into the equation. I wonder if it's much worse than the MV6 in that respect? I can just about tell if I've got a full LPG tank in mine, and it manifests itself as a little more body roll. It's not a big enough effect to worry about, IMHO.

Elite starts out a bit worse in that respect, of course. On the other hand, it does have self-levelling (or has it been removed?).

SL still there, but Elites are soft. Too soft IMHO. I think that's why CG keeps wanting to stiffen his - though of course that could be due to too many currys

I have taken my SL out, a mega improvement but I am concerned how it will affect the ride once I put my 90L tank in  :-/

As said on previous occasions, I am convinced sl shocks work perfectly well with stiffer springs. So body roll can be improved that way. Current elite feels stiffer (and conciserably quicker) than previous gay omega. So happier with the set up as is tbh. So no limit on curry. You can't have too many curries.  ;D

Having said that though, bilstein b4 front shocks and irmscher springs all round will be going on in a couple of months anyway. See if they work with rear sl, or bin them for rear b4's as well depending on sag.... We'll see.

Getting back on topic ::) ::)

See the long LPG Price thread for an update... I'm in the process of sorting a tank supplier who (hopefully) is going to do us a deal :y :y
