Thread: LPG tanks in a Disco

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

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






Ashame u can't put the scubas on the sill

Matt.

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.
