I have an old tank manufactured in 1990 or thereabouts with an internal EFI pump which was built for liquid injection by a local company called Carmtrol. Sadly the seal for the pump assembly is unavailable so I can't get it tested. The tank makes a neat refuelling system. The liquid injection fuel pumps are just an upgraded version of the ones used for petrol, with ceramic bearings as the lpg liquid doesn't lube well. If you want a small liquid injection pumped tank talk to Orbital Autogas, they are developing liquid injection for quite a few newish cars. Betcha it will still cost around $1K though, lots for a "jerrycan".

and why would you print service and parts material that called the tank a bomb.

They did what??? :D

official translation for a gas tank is BOMB.its to do with the shape.

the official advertising calls it a bomb.the parts book called it a bomb.and the customer was told that the bomb needed to replace every 10 years.
the clever gents at nissan then offered rear bull bar [they have another name for it] incorperating a tow bar but dont offer one to the front..just makes you want to buy one.the only cars i saw in newcastle sydney was common safety yellow,basic cars with after thought black sticker LPG.
the cars on ebay recently was higher lever auto white or blue.

then as these are victorian in the 1980's to get gas you have to make apointments to fill these outside of major cities and often the price has to be guessed at calculated from a flow meter reading.like driving in the outback.

the bomb fitted in the trunk behind the seat and replaces the petrol tank inside a saftey sheild,if you havnt seen the early import tanks up to late 80's they are inside a second skin firmly bolted to the floor.the axcess housing is alloy.it has glass saftey sheild to look at the gauge and test numbers.

sorry its a BOMBE.

you notice the date is 1979.the 910 bluebird was alread out when australia was building 200B.the japanese versions had Z18 engines and not the locally made L20B.

the tank wa updated in 85 and 89.the last BOMBE was similar to modern tank..production of 910 finished in 92.japanes built these for 13yrs in large numbers.they offered several different engine versions including diesel.

just that here they dont bother getting things to work.
