Duel fuel back to petrol conundrum
Hi all,
Wondering if anyone has converted their duel fuel (LPG/petrol) systems back to petrol only? If so, what did you do?
Did you:
- find an original tank and put it back in to have 2 tanks?
- put in a long range tank (LRA or brown Davis) and get rid of the sub?
- buy a new replacement tank and keep the sub?
Also, did you run it so that one tank fills the other or run it as 2 seep rate tanks in case one split somewhere along the way?
Rather than spend 1k on fixing my gas issues I am going to put the $ towards converting back to petrol only. Have heard many different scenarios and am confused now (for a change) ... Interested in hearing from you guys.
Cheers, dave

I'm guessing you've got a GU?
With all the GQs I've seen the normal original petrol tank stays the same and an lpg tank is added.
So step one is just a case of removing the lpg tank, and piping etc.
If you wanted a longer range then step two would be to fit a sub tank or a long range tank. There are a few different options for these depending on the manufacturers of the tanks.
There are a few threads here regarding fitting a sub or long range. Sorry I cant post a link as I'm on the phone but a search should help.
FanTapstic!

Generally petrol GQs don't come with a sub tank, they just have an 80/90lt tank at the rear.
When they convert them to gas, they usually replace that rear tank for the log tank and put in a belly sub tank on the drivers side......
Why not keep your sub and get a long range one as well, you've already got a switch in place to switch between the two tanks....... so hopefully will be able to use that
Is there such a thing as RTI..... Repetitive Tapping Injury?????

A much better option going 2 tanks, this way you get a much better drop off angle and reduce the risk of putting a hole in the only tank you have...
I've seen blokes rip gas tank shields off on easy tracks, and those long rage tanks hang lower than gas tanks...
