LPG on a Discovery

(1/2) > >>

Ben:
Right. I've decided what I want to do to replace the 90. I'm going to get another Disco (previously owned a TD5 7 seater ES).

However, I'm going to go for a v8. They seem to be quite a bit cheaper to buy, I can get LPG fitted for the difference, and then they're cheaper to run.

But...

What are the tank options? (Don't want to lose range, internal capacity or offroad ability - it will be used on the mud occasionally :lol: )
What can I expect to pay for the conversion?

Any ideas gratefully received. I've "lost" 2 300TDi engines, so don't want another, and need it to be "M" reg or newer so I can get the plate back off the 90 when the year's up since it was stolen.

Oh yes - I'd rather have the LPG conversion done myself, so that I get the tank location (etc) that I want - unless someone else has done it the same way...

Cheers

Ben

Colin 009:
I would go with direct injection and replace the fuel tank with two tanks and fit a small petrol tank in th rear wing. should cast around max £2000 fitted.

Jake:
I paid £1500 for twin tanks (40ltr) fitted where the fuel tank was and a 25ltr petrol tank fitted under the off side rear wing.
It worked a treat and i did'nt lose any boot/seat space from the rear.
BUT
I was'nt happy with the fact that the gas tanks hung lower than the original petrol tank and the 25 ltr petrol tank hung down to the same height.
I hit both the gas tanks and the petrol tank on numerous occassions.
Personally i'd go for sill tanks or sacrifice the boot.
If your gonna do any sort of off roading, its the best and safest route.
I have pictures of how it looked.
PM me your email address and i'll send you some so you know what to expect.
