LPG Tank for 3.2
« on: 10 January 2013, 12:45:28 »

Does it have to be multi-hole? Or can I get away with single?

I recall multi ones only benefit is for fuelling faster?  :-\ :-\

You can burn the fuel faster too. ;)

May not be an issue in this case, though. :-X

I would go 4 hole every time, TBH. If you get a decent multivalve you'll get away with it, I'm sure, but for the minimal extra outlay I would have the reassurance that it will flow well enough.

Only reason I ask is Guffers has a 90L single going cheap...

It would probably run OK, TBH, and if the multivalve turned out to be restrictive, it's not a huge outlay for a new one. It worked OK on a 2.5, after all... :-\ Or was his a 3.0? Can't recall. :-\

Single hole will work with a decent Multivalve but the 90L doesn't just drop in, it's a little more complicated ;)

Yours is a different size tank though ;) I'm sure Guffers' one is a 400mm dia tank, the same as I had in my saloon ;)

Ah  :-[

Whats involved in making it fit? Because if I can get kit from OOF supplier at a good rate, plus this tank, should be quite a cheap conversion  :)

Similar to your saloon... Need to line up bolt holes (but Guffer has probably done that for you ;) Ideally, remove bose amp so it will slide in but I manhandled mine and then had to mess about tightening the straps with virtually no room ::)

Worst case scenario is that you have to get a new Multivalve (Emer do a high flow IIRC) for £70 at a guess. Mind you, with your driving style you could probably tip the LPG in with a funnel and still get enough flow rate :-X :D

Whilst I run a high flow multivalve in the bullet (BRC IIRC), I'd recommend a 4 hole every time on a 3.2

No worries, there's no frame.  It remained on the car, no time to remove and it was just a couple of metal bars from B&Q :y
