Thanks guys. I would much prefer the range offered by the cargo area LPG tanks with original petrol tank as I'm not a big fan of carrying too many jerry cans.
Bob. I also spoke to Malcolm after posting, he was very helpful and said the flase floor would sit about 20cm or so higher than now.
Greg. Thanks for your first hand info. 275mm is a fair amount, I might have to do some measuring and see how much of a sacrafice it actually is. BTW do you have any photos you could post up or email me?
Cheers,
Dan

I just had a look at the APA catalogue and the diameter of each cylinder in their manifold (scuba) tanks is 203mm

.....and the rear of the disco is not vertically challenged.
The last time I filled it with baggage to the roof behind the cargo barrier was when I had two women as passengers ;) :p

Here's the link to the manifold tank drawing and dimensions:

I've been thinking about it and am not totally sold on sacraficing that much space in the cargo area.
With the under vehicle option they put in twin gas tanks where the current petrol tank is and add a 45 litre petrol tank. Would there be space under there for another 45 litre petrol tank somewhere, without sacraficing ground clearance or departure angles?
If possible than this might be the best option me as it's really the best of both worlds.

You can fit a sill tank that will fill back into the small rear tank giving you pretty much the same petrol capacity, i have the twin lpg and twin sill tanks in my rangie , 70ltrs lpg (approx. 350 k range) 90ltrs petrol (approx.600k range).

I've got the scuba setup in my Disco. It's not that bad and if you have a cargo barrier then you still have a very useful cargo area. I'll see what I can do about some pics.

Not my disco, but here is a setup for the scuba's in the back... put a half cargo barrier and it would be fine, otherwise tow a trailer :)

A more expensive option but one which takes no interior room away is to fill sill tanks under each side.
Another alternative is to fit a vertical toroidal tank - this is a good option for RR classic owners - it replaces the spare wheel and is a good one for those who already have a rear swingaway wheel carrier.

Thanks for those pics.
I'm not too keen on it now that i've seen it. I think I will be going for the more expensive petrol tank replacement option and down the track add an extra sill tank to accompany the 45 litre tank they install with the conversion.
It really is a shame you can't put the scubas on the sill.
