Fixed, but needs price. Capacity would be useful

Wow Thanks TB

Ok I'll try and look up capacity
If I can't find on tank could be Lazydocker may be able to help
It is I think the deepest that will fit in the wheel well diameter

Firstly apologies for messy post has to do with my failed attempt
to post 2 pics on one posting
In the pic with the the floor propped up
The items to the left & right of the tank are not part of the system
But my Jump leads + the detachable towhook and other odds & sods
Still a bit of usefull storage around the tank
My install only got as far as completeing the rear end (with the exception of the filler point)
And all pipework & wireing into the front end
Then the holiday season took over
And later Miggy was lost to a young speed mad basket
Need to get to the point
The system has never seen LPG so can be worked on safely
I'm asking 300.00 for the rear end kit complete as removed from Miggy with installed vapour lock system

I couldn't get to the tank to check for capacity
Anyhow problem solved by Lazydocker who has the same tank
He kindly PM'd me the following info for which I'm gratefull

Tank capacity is 76L (water capacity)and should fill to around 60L
although my experience in my car is that it will go to 62-64L

In a 3.2 driven on fast A roads with lots of roundabouts (not exactly hanging about)
and town driving this will do about 230mls between fills,a little more on a run

There it is so thanks again to Lazydocker

Assuming a fill of 64 litres and a range of 230 miles, that's only an average of 16.35mpg.

My 3.2 would do 21mpg on gas on a spirited run (Fast A roads / Fast motorway) - for which 64 litres would get you 295 miles

Basically, any Omega driven half sensibly over a long distance, you're looking at a 300 mile range with this tank

I'm guessing this is a vertical tank (pics not showing for me at work)?

Purely by looking at the pics - no, it sits in the spare wheel well of an estate, flat - so looks like a horizontal one HTH

but ... if you turn your monitor on its side it looks like a vertical one .....

4 hole or multivalve?

I don't think I've ever managed 20mpg from my 3.2 on gas 

I struggle with the (more economical) 3.0 to get 20mpg.

Having experienced your driving... I'm surprised your fuel consumption is not measured in gallons per mile !!
