you can fit an Aux tank under the drivers seat along chassis

you can buy a twin filler that fits in the same hole.

A typical Long Range tank is fitted with the original tank being removed :?:
Do you mean you have a 2nd tank in it now :?
Unless damaged, I'm confused on why your chasing a standard tank!

You can get aftermarket arms that will clear the tank.

Hobzee sells them.

i mean there is a non standard 70ltr tank installed under the driver side seats and the rear standard 95ltr tank has been removed for a lpg tank under the rear of the car

i want to get rid of the lpg tank and put a standard tank back in and keep the other tank giving me 165 ltr but will need to have a filler out let for the extra tank

I did the same on my GQ.

Removed Gas.

Fitted STD Tank again.

Bought a complete Filling Kit from Long Range Automotive that included Filler, Transfer Pump etc.

Bought a new Sender unit from Nissan.

Aux Tank pumps back into Main Tank. Old Gas swith on gas switches pump on and switches Dash Gauge to Aux Tank.

Works well.
