Im not sure wether this should be here or in tech discussion, but here it goes......
Eventualy i will run straight LPG, and as such all petrol gear will be removed (tank, fuel lines, injectors etc) and i would love to have a whole boot (for stereo and mabey some storage :) )
Now..............
Im thinking of using the special tanks which are comprised of 3 or 4 small diameter tanks linked together. To get this to work properly, to provide sufficent ground clearence, and to obtain a large capacity (80L+) i was thinking of getting the spare wheel well removed and the boot floor pan reinforced. This added with the removal of the petrol tank will provide for a reasonably large volume for a tank.
I would think that the removal of the spare wheel well and modifications fo the floor of the boot would require an engineers report.
Ideas?

i'd say it'd be legal, but u'd need to get an engineers cert i'd assume
its deffinately a good idea.
any idea how much capacity u could get where the fuel tank is without removing the spare wheel part?

yeah it can be done but it's a major defect if it's noticed and would require a pretty serious engineers cert because your modifing the structual integraty of the car.
Better to remove the petrol tank and get a replacement one of those. You maybe lucky see if the Au straight gas falcon tanks don't fit that may well be your answer.

hey
They say that there can be no opened area between lpg tanks people , so where you put your tanks as to be sealed of from in inside world , thats the crap i went trough with one of wy lpg cars , But Carazy is on the money with later factroy set up.
why would you what straigh gas any way , its dear to get it towed when they run out.
who runs out of gas/petrol these days.
most ppl know how many k's they get from a tank.
so technically, driving a Falcon with LPG tank in the boot, and having the rear seats down is a NONO?
i drove with my rear seats completely removed when i was getting my car fixed
i'm gunna take a trip to Gas Research later today and find out some stuff :)

I have heard of donut style tanks that fit into the spare wheel well. Could you get one of these and use one outside as a replacement for the petrol tank to avoid getting an engineers maybe?
