This project has been keeping me out of trouble for a while now.
Easy part is done stripped the LPG tank, converter, lines, wiring harnesses and computer anything to do with gas is all gone.
Redirected vacuum and breather hoses to make way for the new piranha battery tray which fit like a glove.
Next to fit battery and wire it up going with Optima yellow top and Red arc isolator.
Also need to do something with those breathers?? any suggestions?

If they are Diff breaters fit some plastic fuel filters to them
and cable tie them to the fire wall
I'll be doing the same over winter. Just debating how big a tank to install in the rear.
Had any issues with lpg the removal?
Replacement tanks for the rear are 150ltr I thinkQuote:

Thats plenty for a diesel and a petrol IMO
Its something on my to do list one day but just im just not sure I'd be up for the challenge. When the time comes I'd probably get 2 long rangers installed
Pay to get the whole lot done. Probably a job for patrolapart
Attachment 58012Attachment 58013Attachment 58014The removal of main components is easy enough ,keep safety in mind use up as much gas as possible close main valve and disconnect battery before opening gas lines and removing possible live wires.
Tank is heavy i used a trolly jack and a second set of hands to lower it out from under car.
Trickiest part was tracing wiring back from switches and tuning module and re joining factory wires back to normal.(helps to have a mate with mad soldering skills)
Be sure to store tank away from potential ignition sources there will still be some gas in tank, I had a local recycler come and collect it free of charge good deal as it goes out of date this year and has fair amount of surface rust.
Already running LRA 75l aux tank just picked up Outback accessories 145l tank plus a new sender unit, pump,filler hose and cap very hard to find second hand had to buy all new $$$
Sweet mate that should be heaps of range out of thatQuote:

Be interested in your range now, must be 1200-1500 k what do you think?
Remember weight is your enemy when building up a tourer, especially up high
1200 km I think at best less fully loaded with camper in tow tb45 not famous for good fuel economy. Getting about as heavy as I would want. Heading on a trip up north that will put it to the test.
