Interesting reading on lpg gents, intend lpg conversion myself asap, only question i have is that of tank size/position? Most seem to to have gone with 80 ltr tank, which gives best range obviously.  My problem is i need to drop the seats down in my saloon for various reasons and,presumably i will have to have a smaller (40ltr???) tank in the spare wheel well, to keep that possibility???
 Is that the best/only option with tank position/size while keeping the drop back seat option? (Is there any room under rear seats?)
 I guess to expect a range of about 160 miles from 40 ltr tank?
With a 40 mile daily commute presuming fill up every 3/4 days?
  Ps please feel free to recomend fitter/supplier. Think best option i seen,from what i've read ,is fitter in wales for 1100 and a day to fit.
please advise, thanks in advance, Chris.

Remember you cant fill an LPG tank to capacity, so a 40l will take a little over 30l, and your mpg will be lower on lpg than petrol.

No room under seats.

As has been said elsewhere re this welsh fitter --- to get it all done in a day takes some doing ( and possibly shortcuts!). Has anyone else on the forum used this guy ?

Oh bugger, I missed that one and whats worse is I was working in Melksham Forest and Sandridge School

i would of offered it here first but nobody seemed interested in doughnut tanks due to the "perceived"issues with light bulbs.all omega saloon wheel wells are identical.

I was thinking of removing the spare wheel well lid to gain an extra inch or so.
