Never heard of that, this is a very good system if you dont want to have wheels on carriers off the back of the cruiser...as it all stays std.

I have the twin tanks on my cruiser. Do have one problem. Cant wipe the grin off my face when I fill up at the servo. Works out between $8 and $10 per 100km.

Seriously though, the only thing I have noticed is that with twin tanks, there is often no complete shut off with the gas feeding into the tanks, compared to the cut off with a single tank. As it gets closer to full (80%), it slows, but instead of cutting off, it will just dribble in more, verrrry slowly. I have gotten used to that, and now just stop filling when it reaches this stage. I dont want to force any more than the 80% it is supposed to cut off at.

Had the conversion done for about a year now, and am very happy with it all.

I am still trying to find an installer who can send me some photos of these tanks so I can make a decision on what tank option to go for. I do a bit of rock crawling and want to know how low these tanks hang and if these tanks stop you from having rock sliders under your sills. Any photos from you guys with these already installed would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers Phil.
