How safe is LPG offroad ?

<< < (2/3) > >>

dxmedia:
As above,

LPG tanks have non return valves fitted in case they become seperated. Petrol tanks don't!

kizz81:
if they are fitted using bands then, make them fitted better, i have a rangie with them and i have driven it off-road a few times, and the only thing that can get caught is the bands which can bend and allow the tanks to fall off, which i would safely assume is not good.
also in the same range rover ( with permission ) have gone fairly fast over ploughed land ( not a field ) and it was fine

cheers kieran

Gromitt:
I fitted a thick steel plate protector on my Shogun rear mounted tank as I didn't want to risk it getting damaged.

UKJeeper:
You could look into donut tanks, mount them either side in the boot.

Bit expensive  :( :( upright torroidal ?? but you could get away with one capacity of 64l (80l)

Was one of the options for me but I went for a 90l taking half the boot space  :( but have a small trailer if I need to carry things  ;)

I think the fixings and pipework are the main concern, the tanks are 6mm+ thick steel  ;)
