    Yeh I have seen heard about the scuba tanks, but not only has he a height restriction de doesn't have much depth in the storage system either.

    x2 with below, never seen it done but great idea if you legally can, you would probably have to get the work certified if doing yourself

    There are vents in the car as standard. The boxes aren't sealed by any means.

    The 90 ltr tank out of my old 4x4 is now running my mates BBQ, justs straps to back of ute to fill it..
    have heard others have TEE'D off from their 4x4 tank to run a bbq, think it just burns out the jets after
    a while. Know heaps who do this, If it was A Patrol Pod or such it'd be easy. Wagon not so

    That whole tapping into the car's LPG tank sounds very neet. (No gas in the car. More space in the car. "Unlimited" gas supply. Cheaper gas.)

    Wouldn't there be some of that "rotten-egg" smell though? Or does that completely disappear during burning?
    I reckon this would need to be done right (as in professional). Is that rather the area of a car LPG installer or of a plumbing and gasfitter for e.g. your home?

    If you can find someone who knows what their doing go for it, more popular than you think.
    Not 100% sure its legal, could even get a small tank intalled on the chassis sills those scuba style are for Rangies
    Then you have Donut tanks, Must love your outdoor cooking.?I use those $20 cookers at camp, I'll be taking one next year to cape york
    If it packs it in I can buy another anywhere, don't get sucked into buying the double one Buy 2 singles. easy peasy Plus can store cans anywhere

    If set up correctly it would be no different to running an LPG cylinder in the back of the wagon

    LPG installer mate, pretty sure a plumber / gas fitter wouldn't touch it.
