Omega General Help / Re: Fitting an LPG tank in the spare wheel well on a sedan Omega (trunk left side)

Thanks for your reply!
You're giving some nice thoughts. Too bad that they've decided to place the spare tire on the left of the trunk instead of on the bottom in this car!... I wonder in what way the space under the floor is used, there's got to be something there... Since you could fit a whole tire otherwise....

Omega General Help / Fitting an LPG tank in the spare wheel well on a sedan Omega (trunk left side)

« on: 24 November 2013, 01:30:39 »

Hi guys,

I want to install an LPG system in a 2002 Omega sedan.
Since I want to save my storage space as much as possible, I am wondering whether it's a good idea to install a toroidal
(donut) tank in the spare wheel well. In general this would be a straight yes, if only this compartment was below the trunk.
However, it is positioned on the left side of the trunk in the sedan!

This basically means that I'd be constantly travelling with over 70 kilos (correct me here) of unbalanced weight that will be on
the left side of the car. Same as the driver - left side. Wouldn't the two weights constitute a substantial disbalance, which
may affect driving, as well as wear of tires, suspension etc?

For reference check this image:

I hope it's fine sharing it here)

Thanks in advance!
