Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Was wondering where everyone has thier tanks located, In my Rangie it runs across behind the back seat in the 2 door but was thinking of moving it so it runs up/down, fwd/aft you know what I mean on the LHS where the spare use to be. I'm after some photos so i can see how it's done

Also does the cradle have to be engineered/checked out by some one and if anyone knows if I can actually do it legally (I don't mean the cradle) but having the tank there.
TIA

I think as long as its vented to the outside it should be ok, the cradles are only rhs or angle iron so as long as its secure i cant see any reason why you cant make it yourself. Internally lhs would be my choice of location.

I have posted photos of my tank mount facing forward to back on the drivers side of the cargo area - I will have a look for them

I did the very same thing in one of my rangies. The tank was mounted east wet behind the back seat and I moved it north south on the left hand side. Very easy to do, particularily if it has flexible lines. As has been said - you need to make sure it is externally vented. Also note the current position of the tank cause if you rotate it, it will affect how much you can put in it.

Yep, they need to be mounted so that the vavles sit at 33 or 45 degrees usually, it will say so on the valve fitting.

Thanks for that guys, and tom if you can find those photos it would be appreciated. didn't know about the tank angle wondered why it sat like that

Can't find them but I will head out after lunch and snap some of the rangie with the 86L WC tank that is in there now

The norm is to mount them hard against the side of the car. I had mine out about 10 cm. Was gr8 for easy access and storage of things like tools, oil, water etc. Being a LR product you always want to be able to readily get you hands on these things

Here is a photo of my tank install

Hope it helps
