| finaly got this one tank two tank long range tank sorted
started out with 2 tank syst. with a 10ltr start up tank under the bonet,but after a bush trip with a mate carrying an extra 8 20ltr containers,i thought this is --ap
so after much thought i ripped off the bull bar and bumper,procured 2 house gas bottles from a test station[minus valves to make the transaction leagal]
after a few measurements i cut the desired amount from the top of each cylinder and welded the 2 bottoms together[not forgetting to insert baffels to stop [sloshing]
so now i use the main tank as start up [handy because you have a fuel guage]and the 160 ltr svo tank witch sits horizontal just below the headlights,with a transparent level inicator on one side.
all plumbed in with a couple of gas solenoids[remember appetures are larger on liquid fuel than gas on dual fuel set ups at wreckers]
now dont forget the 10ltr start up tank that i started with under the bonet[still there] so i plumbed that in with a maunal valve on it. normally i dont use it at all but if i go on a trip ,i fill both the 160ltr tank and the original tank with svo and use the 10ltr tank as a temporary start up tank
by putting 160kg of fuel plus tank wieght 40kg over the front axel it balances the weight normally loaded in the back in any trip
before i would have the back weighrd down and the front in the air now i feel it is far better balanced and safer.
hey you cant have a gas tank out the front in the crash zone.
its not a gas tank its cooking oil thats food not fuel
spelling is a bugger once youve opened that second bottle
