Hi

I just got quoted aroud $2800 for a install with the manifold tanks in the boot. The bloke on the other end was a bit vague but suggested the gas mixer was a positive pressure type made in Italy...

Any brand can be made to fit under the car, but APA is the most common I think.

APA usually use 2 x H66 tanks side by side under the back of the car where the normal fuel tank fits. http://www.apamfg.com.au/Downloads/A...hart_07-09.pdf
This gives about 70 odd litres of LPG.
A 30L or so pertrol tank gets put on the drivers side behind the rear wheel, so you have small capacity for petrol only.

That is the setup I had on a previous Disco.

In underfloor setups, I have also seen two roughly 20L tanks placed down each side of the car between the chassis rails.
This is a similar type of tank setup they normally use for diesel/LPG setups.
This setup allows you to retain the original fuel tank, so that you can still have a decent range, but your LPG capacity is much lower.

Underfloor setups are usually in the $4000 range!

There's second hand stuff around, any Land Rover wrecker would get hold of underfloor kits. Should get you converted for under $3000 total, or under $1500 after the rebate. The rebate applies to second hand kits too.
