Don't forget if the Range Rover has Air Bags the car will lift up and down, in which case under slung tanks if I remember should not be used. :y

I think you can fit them if you remove the spare wheel well... Essentially you cut the bottom out of the wheel well and drop it in there, then seal the top with a plate... But it's a lot of extra work for perhaps an extra 30 miles of range ::) ::)


So why not just put the tanks into the spare wheel well?

Tank, single ;) ;)

I know singular from plural.
I had a Range Rover which had twin torpedo tanks (plural) in the spare wheel well
. :P

Like I said... A lot of extra work for a few extra miles of range. Not worth it IMO ;)

Yeah... But toroidal tanks are now more readily available... IIRC there's a 95L one to drop in now :y

if you never venture off road torpedo tanks of 50l each side of the vehicle can be done,i personally dont have a lpg rr or land rover but i know plenty of friends that do,the bwm engine is the weakest one to lpg cos of the nickelsi cylinder liners.

the previous gen p38 4.0 l are pretty good for lpg and the jag 4.2 is ok

a friend has a l322 lpg with underslung tanks and gets 12 to the gall on gas and 16 on petrol
