Sliders and Aux Tanks

[Throbbinhood]

As far as I was aware, GQ's only came out with the one tank from factory, around 85L (at the rear). This could be different for diese/ute variants. Certainly my GQ only had the one tank until I installed the aux tank.

Yeah, my Aux tank is an LRA, so 68L is probably right, add in fuel in the line etc, and it probably feels like a bit more.
For Gas, normally the rear tank is removed, and then they add an aux tank in the centre - depending on the gas mob these can be 30/40/50/70L units from what I've seen.

As for converting to LPG, I do too many kms offroad in the high country, often switching between the tanks well before I get to a servo, so while it would save me money, I'd be losing a lot of my off road 'range'. Aside from which, too many servo's still don't have LPG. Would be nice for the local trips though.

Thanx guys. Yeah, it's kinda clear to me now. I obviously got the wrong info.
LPG can work if you got three tanks. I got two atm and the third one going in soon(scuba tank).
With all the three tanks in, around 230L total capacity, I wil effectively get 1000km+ of range full tank on LPG, and coupled with petrol tank and some jerry cans, I should be ok.
Yeah, my idea is to fill all three LPG tanks at the last cheapest LPG station before I head deeper into the wilderness.

[GQ TANK]

To answer the original question.

I have LPG and have had both sizes of sub-tanks (55 and 75 L) - (im currently looking for another sub tank - as I keep damaging them off road - next tank will have a bash guard)

I made my sliders that clamp around the chassis in 2 places, and mounted at the front?

There was enough room between the tank / chassis for the slider bracket.

I had to bend the brake lines run alone the drivers chassis rail, away from the chassis to give room and ensur that the would not rub on the slider (onlt were the brackets were)

Dom could you pls provide details as were your LPG tanks are mounted and size
