Qld plating info help

My work vehicle is a 2002 Rodeo that I bought second hand here in Qld with an after-market long-range tank. It has a modification plate on the firewall for the new tank.

Don't know the process of getting the plate. It was there when I bought the vehicle.

Interesting,

I have an aftermarket long range replacement tank in my 1996 pajero.
135l after market replaces the stock 96l tank.

My mechanic does blue plates and has never mentioned that it may need blue plating. He has blue plated a couple of other mods on the pajero, so he normally keeps and eye on my mods as I / we do them.

Used to have a 2nd 70l tank too, and there was not an issue about that either.
Has since been sold.

Being a 1996, does age has some thing to do with the ADRs and which ADR covers what.?

The transport department does list modifying fuel tanks as requiring approval, but I don't see any detail.

I'd be giving the guys who did the original roadworthy a call and see what they have to say. There may have been a good reason why it wasn't needed or they simply missed it. Either way put it upon them to explain.

Other thought is to give the Qld agent for Out of Town (TJM maybe??) a ring and ask them. They might have a tame engineer that issues the certificates, especially if you tell them they have a responsibility for their product and that you are prepared to go to Dept of Fair Trading (or what ever).

And another thought - have you crawled around and made sure the plate is not somewhere a bit obscure?

FWIW

Yep,

In QLD, the replacement fuel tank must be blue plated. Any of the "big three" should be able to organise this for you. (at a cost of course)
