Hey guys I am chasing a second LPG tank for the 85 Rangie. The curent 230k trip distance does not cut it for weekends away. Just want to know if this tank will fit, under the rear of the car minus the petrol tank. Its already on straight gas by Gas Research.
LPG gas tank Nissan Patrol Ford Maverick 120lt - eBay, Air Intake, Fuel Delivery, Car Parts, Accessories, Cars, Bikes, Boats. (end time 03-Feb-09 20:33:31 AEDST) (http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=360127306715)
Its 950mm wide and 450mm high.
Or I would i be better trying to squeeze this setup in to the same space
LPG Gas Tank APA Triple Scuba Tank Good Condition - eBay, Air Intake, Fuel Delivery, Car Parts, Accessories, Cars, Bikes, Boats. (end time 31-Jan-09 22:52:11 AEDST) (http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=260352704239)
Not sure how much space I have to play with with the tank out. Any hints or info would be greatly appreciated.
Also can anyone suggest a good place in the wild west of Melbourne to get it plumb in I will fit and wire just need the copper done.
Thanks in advance guys.
Cheers Kris

Ha ha very funny. But what i was hoping for was that someone else had pulled there petrol tank out and could tell me how much space was in that area. As I have not pulled my tank out yet.

You have around 630mm X 680mm X 380mm . So that tank on flea bay won't come close. :(
You will need two H66 tanks to fill the space.
