    LPG max tank size under D3?

    I have searched for a while and cant find an answer. Can anyone tell me the max LPG tank size (water volume) they have been able to fit in place of the spare wheel on the D3?

    Im seriously considering a 4.4 and see this as a way to increase the range and economy, but im not sure how much usable space there is under there

    Cheers

    Do they make a kit for that model,i have never heard of one?

    If underneath no doubt spare will have to be relocated.

    It should be possible to fit a toroidal tank. I'd guess something around 65 litres. I had a small 54 litre toroidal in my P38A Rangie wheel well. Maybe something from the Manchester tanks range, e.g.,:

    MANCHESTER.OUTSIDE..CYLINDER.....CAPACITY....VALVE .....OTHER
    NUMBER.........DIA (MM)..LENGTH.....WATER.LPG...ANGLE
    26754.4----------650...........240.........63L....50L..Internal.... ....Toroidal Cylinder
    270079.4--------720............270.........90L....72L..Internal... .....Toroidal Cylinder

    Try a PM to bee utey (LPG specialist) on this forum.

The most common tank suitable for the job would be the one made for BA to BF wagons, about 68 litres LPG capacity. A Ford wrecker I sent a friend to recently told him that they scrap every tank that comes in, they keep none.

    I know its a long way away but Graeme Cooper Automotive had a toroidal tank from an early L322, about 80l gas. Not sure if it still available. I can ask if you are interested.
    Cheers,
    Phil.

    Thanks bikeman but not yet, I havent bought the D3 yet but its looking promising for a 4.4 and want to know how viable a conversion would be to increase the range.
