    threedogs: Not yet. Sounds a bit messy?
    NissanGQ4.2: Probably because it doesn't work and is dangerous...

    could you cut a circle hole out of your storage system so that the bottom "foot" of the gas bottle sits down in it? Did you say you had 215mm height in your drawer? What height is your existing bottle?

    Edit: can you post a pic?

    sorry off topic somewhat, but useful for someone
    Apparently you can buy LPG automotive scuba style tanks these days.
    Haven't seen one but something I heard.
    The design is supposed to fit under rear draws, so I'm told.
    daisy linked for capacity expansion

    not the ones, but size of smaller ones close to" lpg scuba tank"
