LPG tank sizes
« on: 08 February 2011, 10:37:54 »
Anyone know if a 400 x 930 tank will fit omega saloon, and fit right back against seats?

Hence i thought it must be the 400 one as it lists two for 90L, guessing it won't go any further back than mine does  :-/

400 / 360 is the diameter. Mine is 360x892 as well. Fits right back between the shock turrets with plenty of space to spare.

Tunnie, yours is a 360 diameter tank IIRCC, certainly not 400 which mine is :y

I reckon it would fit... My tank frame is as far back as the shape of the floor allows without modification and the tank is about 10mm off the back of the seats :y

Do have to bear in mind that the larger diameter tank will, obviously, take up a little more space ::) May make access to the Warning Triangle/Jack cubby hole tight too :-/

Easy way to check... If your is 892, have you got another 40mm spare between it and the turrets? That's under 2" in old money :-X ::)

Looks like a 360 tank to me.

Hmmm, got a Haynes wedged in one side (tight) and tank centrally mounted. Reckon that's too tight?

My Tank install here:





Gut feeling is there's enough room. It'll be tight but do-able.

Followed KW's link and got a rather familiar page ::) ::)

I still reckon, looking at Kevin's tank pictures, it will just go :-/ :-/

A 400mm 90L will definitely fit though :y :y

Additionally, filler hose is premade for 4 hole tanks. Worth fitting with polyflex, then change to premade once route/length known?

You can just fit it with polyflex and leave it TBH.

But, I'd just work out what length you need, add a bit and order the correct pipe :y

As an addition, the front end kit does not include the filler and box. Please can you amend my listing in the locked thread to reflect this :y
