gas tank options

Post by bazooked »

hey im seriously considerin runnin the new buggy on gas when its finished, what i wanted to no can you buy a lpg tank from a gas mob on its own or do u have to go thru all the bullshit, there is one listed on the apa site its a h66 and has a capacity of around 35 litres, would last more than a day of wheelin the motor is a v6 commy aswell. also you can hire fork lift bottles the smallest is a 15 kg and costs about 60 bux a year to hire, and both of these would be easy to fill up at the servo before u go wheelin. any other ideas?

Yes you can purchase a tank from a tank supplier.


best bet tho would be to contact the guys that re-certify tanks, they usually have a heap as backup tanks or know of what tanks are lying around unused.
Or get a tank from a wreckers and get it re-certified.

You can buy forklift tanks outright so the rental isnt an issue. Last forklift tank we bought was $320, holds 40lits of usable LPG.
If you want to go with the forklift tank idea, which is a smart idea too by the way..... take 2 tanks and keep the weight down yet have excelent fuel supply is a smart move, ...... contact a forklift specialist and get a couple of used tanks from them and have them re-certified.
