G'day All
A quick word of warning from recent experience.

I have just sold my old vehicle to a chap in the neighbouring state. To grease the wheels of the sale - I arranged for the "blue slip" for the buyer. On inspection, the agent told me that because the vehicle had a long-range tank fitted, an engineers report was required!!! This tank was made by probably the biggest supplier of long range tanks, it was fitted by the largest 4wd specialist in my area, plus I had all receipts for said fitting. This was not enough, and the engineers report was still required. So, a quick glance under the car by the engineer, and $400 bucks later, the sale could go ahead. Talk about a rude shock!

if the tank was from TJM/Op Lock/ARB etc it should have come with RTA approval information.

sucks.

My dad had a similar experiance in Qld.
Vehicle was rego'd in vic with dual fuel, when he tried to transfer the reg to Qld he needed an engineers for the Gas conversion as well as the long range tank

Someone may need to correct me, but I believe that in Qld you always need a separate certificate for an LPG set up, even when just selling within the state.

He said the specific need for the engineers was the non factory petrol tank ..
