LPG tank on 110 CSW - where?

yes it is, you put the filler on the back of the front wing, between the door post and the wheel arch.

Best bet is a tank where the petrol/diesel tank is at the back - you should be able to get an 80l one in there. Then you want a small reserve petrol tank, really - that can go inside the back wing - I got most of the way through making one once - it was a 1-ft cube, with the original filler spout bit that fits in the body welded into the top at a suitable angle.

You can go with twin side tanks, make sure you shield the gas pipes where the cross the exhaust though.

There's also twin 'torpedo' tanks that fit along the inside of the chassis. This slightly decreases clearance, but not that much, and allows all original load spaces and tankages to be unaltered. It does cost more though.

Enough to stop any serious off roading if thats your cup of Tea, as a result our Disco rarely leaves the Tarmac.

Are there more than one type of torpedo tanks? The ones fitted to a friends Rang Rover Classic don't impact as much as those affecting your Disco. It certainly can off road quite usefully, though I suppose it depends what you mean by serious off roading. The sort of off roading that would be compromised by the tanks on his car would be the sort you'd probably not want to do with anything you wouldn't damaged anyway.

Sort of like....

Hence why we used the 101 and more recently 110 for this kind of stuff as the Disco is too nice to roger.

Size also matters, ours has twin 45 litre tanks, now I guess the tank would survive a collision with a rock but it's likely that the straps would get ripped off and the connections damaged as a result.

Driving down your average rutted track won't pose problems as the tanks will be in the rutts too. It's cresting ridges that have you bellied out in next to no time.

*good thing* at the moment , I'm getting fed up with sodding hkickston brax thingies all the time now. Been keeping her awake all night, so I have be kept awake all night in case they become real, *and* I can't have a beer in case we have to rush through to the mat unit. Might have to make up for it when the baby does put in an appearance mind!

You can get twin 40s, which take up less space by being smaller diameter, but obviously mean you can't get as much gas on board.

What's the due date Simon? - I forget.

Mandy is due on Jan 4th, but I won't be surprised if he puts in an appearance in time for Christmas. Fortunately the hospital is 400 yards away so beer isn't too much of a problem....

In her condition?

well, that's rather the point, innit. means of triggernig the process are what's being sought.

Ah, sorry, I didn't know you actually *meant* she should do it, I thought you meant that the moment he took a wheel off, she'd pop. Looks like you were one level below me all along ;-)
