Diesel Gas Tank Size

Hi all,

Currently looking into getting LPG for my TD5, not for the fuel savings, but for the extra power. I dont want to start an argument as to whether it is worth it or what ever. I am just interested in those that have had the conversion done. What i would like to know is where you had the tank mounted and of what size, including any modifications that needed to be done to fit it in. I do not want it in the cab, the the only place i get fit the tank is the drivers side, in between the outrigger and the radius arm bracket. Most installers have told me they can fit a 32l tank (25l usable), but this would mean having to fill up with LPG twice to one tank of diesel.

Thanks

Why not two small 25 liters beneath the passenger floor along the chassis Augusto

A read of this may interest you perhaps? I converted a V8 Disco and would do it again like a shot but purely for affordability.

Do you have a particular tank in mind? I had though of this, but because of the battery box and being unable to find a tank that is 130 in diameter, the distance from the cabin floor to the bottom on the chassis is 270, i forgot about it.

Here is a picture with the dimensions of the space under the drivers seats
