Whos got gas?

[Shazbot]

I have 2 LPG tanks and 2 petrol tanks, I can carry a total of 200 ltrs in gas and 160 ltrs in petrol.


both petrol tanks can be seen in this shot.


this is the bottom LPG tank. It holds 80 ltrs


this is the top LPG tank. It holds 120 ltrs and is off set to the right to allow for a 25ltr water barrel and also balances the weight out.

Nice setup. Is that the standard bedford tank on the right?

[obsession]

yep

[ShaneJ]

Are you sure? The other tank pictured must be like a tardis if the van can carry 160L of fuel

[obsession]

the one on the left came out in some lwbs or I have seen allot of those tanks put in.

[Shazbot]

We have only ever filled them once and we put in 160ltrs.

after talking to Australian gas research i was looking at the $1400 mark to get the full s350 set up and with the b2 mixer and cut off valves ect.ect.

while i was going to go with the vk inlet manifold i had converted to a red motor but i would have had to make cuts into the fire wall... i happened to have a search on ebay... and to my luck a entire system was up for grabs with 2 days left with the s350 system sitting at $200 and a Redline Torker II Inlet manifold sitting at $20.

long story short, i got both items for $377.50 and saved $1000...



i cant mount the mixer where it is in the photo but im sure it will sit fine under the heater...

the only other trouble is the s350 sits hard up against the engine bay and the blue dizzy is almost touching the other side... with all the work i had done to the motor it will apparently have a bit of wiggle to it so i might be looking at one of bens v8 engine covers to give me a inch either side...

Have you thought of modifying the existing cover just where it needs it, putting bulges in, this would allow you to keep as much leg room as possible.

The camper has a V8 cover, and I have no room to put my left leg out straight - it can be a real pain (literally)

good point there warren! if i cut out the floor where i need to and match that with the cover it would be enough and when its all carpeted it will look stock anyway.

yep... sounds good thanx.

[vintageholden]

mount he converter as close to the throttle body as possible
the shorter the vapour hose the better....
