Well fellas Im going LPG before the rebate lowers on june 30th
Petrol will be on its way up again and lpg also but still LPG is the
fuel to go for those wanting to turbo with intercooler but without the
complexities of wiring and computers.
I will be going for an intercooled turbo setup afterwards but my main
concern has been to hide the mixer and make the LPG install as clean
as possible.
The tank Ive got a quote for can possibly go down in price if there is
enough of us interested and is manufactured in New Zealand but owner/
designer operates out in QLD Australia.
So far the tank is 780aud delivered and will have a capacity of 53 or 54 litres.
PPI all alloy LPG tanks

They seem expensive but are a work of art
The dimensions I have quoted are
228mm Height
533mm Length
690mm Width

This is to fit under the boot area with wheel-well removed and
replaced with flat plate or straight under vb10 wagons.

The benefits are:

- Weighs less than 50% of steel version
- No change in weight from petrol version
- No reduction in efficiency
- Improved safety due to retention of original OEM handling characteristics
- Up to 50 % gain in volume for same available space.
- Modular Design
- Increase width and length using existing tooling
- Multi tank applications possible
- No ganged cylinders
- Easy shape for mounting straps

Exhaust exit will need thermo tape to make sure there is no heat transfer
otherwise good fit and weight distribution.
Leaf spring shackle bolts will need to be flipped so bolt doesnt protude
into tank. No issue with tightening plenty of space on the outer sides.
