Hello All,
I am fairly new to this so please bare with me. I have just purchased a 1998 GU Patrol on duel fuel. Is there a long range petrol tank I can fit to replace the smaller petrol tank left after the conversion, and if so where is the best place to purchase one? I live near
Geelong south of
Melbourne. Also why do Patrols take out the big petrol tank whilst Toyota take out the small petrol tank when they are converted to gas? Are the gas tanks any difference in size? Thanks in advance for any help I receive.
Cheers
Rusty

G'Day Rusty,
If I had the choice I would go with the largest gas tank, rather than petrol, you can find. Getting gas is no problem if you don't drive a diesel, and the economy / payback will be quicker for the gas tank. There is a guy in Thompson's Rd, just up from the
bakery who has a pile of gas tanks he can't give away, may be worth a visit.

Thanks Rolande,
I actually work just up from there off Thompsons Rd (Sharon Crt). I was looking at Turbo Diesel but for the amount of time away as oppsed to driving to work and back, the running costs made the decision for me. That and the fact that I found a 1998 Patrol on duel fuel for $18990. I am going to pick up the car tomorrow. I am a little nervous with the car having 350,000 klms on the clock, but it comes with a 3 year unlimited klms warranty covering everything (supposedly). It has never been off road and has been owned by the one guy who travelled Victoria as a rep.
