Learned friends,
I recently bought a 1998 Disco V8i fitted with twin LPG tanks under the vehicle, replacing the original fuel tank. I have noticed after not using the vehicle for several weeks my LPG tanks are now nearly empty, so I guess I have a leak somewhere!
The Disco has an LPG certificate dated 2001 which states that it is fitted with 2x 40 litre tanks (water capacity). It also has a 30 litre reserve type fuel tank.
With no power to the LPG system the tanks should be closed by the spring on the valves - right? So how come I can loose gas from both tanks? Does only one tank have a valve maybe?
I have lifted the fuel pump access plate in the back of the truck and looked down, but am much not much wiser - looks cramped, so I guess the whole cradle will need to be dropped down.
Does anyone have an idea of how hard this is going to be to fix? I have lots of experience with Land Rovers, but not much with LPG.
Should I get this looked at by a specialist? If so anybody recommend an honest company in the Bournemouth area?
Also what parts would I need to order if I decide to do this repair myself and does anyone have a diagram of how a twin tank system should be fitted.
Any ideas / suggestions gratefully received.
Best regards to all,
Macman
