Thanks Dallas.We've got a 2001 Rodeo space cab, standard tray, no lift (yet).
Heaps of space below tray, but none of much use.
Have considered moving the tray back 360mm(still legal,plus little impact on exit angle). Replace spare with a 720x270 toroidal tank, mount cylindrical tank in tray............. Just don't know yet, but sleeping on it.
btw, will you have a Rep at the Brisbane show next weekend? If so, may visit.
Regards,

Jeff H.

Dallas,
Best bet seems to be a 650x240 "donut" between spare and 'axle' cross member.
V tight, but no mods needed, and fair (54L ?) volume.
The forward , cylindrical position would involve body-work to maintain ground clearance, although a 582x360 (40L ?)fits ok. [Well, a beer keg does, anyway].
Thanks for your continued advice.
Regards,
Jeff.

Gees Dallas, gimme a break!
Unlike you professionals, I can't just poke me head under a tray and order a '9C' as best fit. I've got to shove it in and see how it runs. (Sortof dry run, eh, or whatever) .
If I front up to your place and arrogantly declare that a '9C' is the biggest fit, guaranteed!!, I'll bet one of your mob proves me wrong, and makes a beautifull '10B' fitting.

Mate the keg is a has-been XXXX job, (filthy stuff, that, and fitting that it's container shall eternally burn in [my] hell), but ocassionally it free lances as an imprecise measuring tool. So watch yer mouth.
Simple fact is the keg measures 535x375, not allowing for end-shape. (Hemispherical? 'Flattened' ends?) I chose to see it as a flat-ended cylinder, just to be safe.
Mate, as I've said elsewhere, I reckon a 650x240 doughnut will just squeeze in in front of the spare. No mods.
So behave yourself and give me the right time and price, eh.
See you in Rocklea, (we're 'Bundabergish'). Ta mate.
