Thread: Sill LPG Tanks?????

The problem with sill LPG tanks on the RRc and D1/D2 are that each only gives you about 20 litres. You are better going with twin H66 LPG tanks in place of the original petrol tank and sill tanks for the petrol. You can get sill tanks between 35 and 50 litres petrol each giving roughly the same as the original rear tank, the problem is running off a long shallow tank.

There are also replacement petrol tanks for in the RHS rear corner. in the D2/RRc you can get them in about 35 litres for pre-LPG starting/petrol running and then transfer from the sill tanks for long range. Probably a little less than 35 litres in the D1.

So with 2 sill tanks of 70+ litres and the 30 odd of the corner tank you get 100 litres petrol (aprox 500+ Km endurance) + 70 litres LPG (300+ Km endurance) you are getting 800 Km endurance.

Both Manchester Tank and APA in Australia make the little sill tanks mainly for diesel enhancement, a pair of them would only get you about 150km on a V8 before running out. As Lotz-A-Landies said, go the twin rear tanks. They have been around for 20+ years so should be available second hand at landy wreckers etc.

The toyota sill tanks are specially made to fit the 100 series 6 cyl only, too big for the D1 sadly.
