[longy]

so topic would be pros and cons of sill tanks

Pro
Extra range with losing interior space


Con
Need mod plate
Filler location ? Most are filled through the rear wheel tub
They ususally leak when off road - can be fixed not such a big deal
Setup ? you should pump the sills into the main so your gauge still works
Reduced clearance - doesn't really matter IMO
Protection - the tanks need a bit of armour.


I don't know whether it would be worth the hassle if you were paying people to do it. I guess it depends on how much you value your cargo space. I have that LPG kit and have taken it to bits and mounted a 40L thank in the cargo area - it is pretty small but still works fine, you just fill up a lot

If you cargo space is paramount then the under floor system with sill fuel tanks are the way to go. If it is not such a big deal you shoudl be able to fit a 60L LPG tank running front to back in the tailgate area over the right rear wheel.

The old man had an 83 Rangie with the tanks running along the side under belly, they were done by Brown Davis. So I suppose you could get a price from them to have an Idea, and they were the 40ltr ones.
