Hi Everyone,

Just wondering if anyone knew for sure if you can put a LPG tank underneath a 60 series - maybe by replacing the sub tank like you can on say a 80 series?

Cheers,
Dave.

I used to have an FJ60 on duel fuel. They don't have a sub-tank, only a 90litre main. However mine had an aftermarket petrol tank in the middle of it (can't remember how big) and the gas tank went where the main tank sits and the spare wheel was placed in the cab.

Cheers,

Mark.

I suggerst you ask a licenced gas installer. Maybe ask a few as opinions may vary. If you're looking at any off road travel save up and get a diesel with duel tanks.

Hi Dave,

I also had an FJ62 Sahara years ago on Dual Fuel.
The main tank and spare wheel were removed to fit a "Bronco" tank behind the rear axle. The Bronco gas tank was one purposely built for Ford Broncos. It was a 140L tank which held 115L of gas. The main reason I went with this tank is that it has a wall thickness of 6mm instead of the usual 3mm and legally did not require a bash plate to protect it which gave me more ground clearance.
I fitted a 125 litre aftermarket fuel tank under the belly of the car and the spare wheel went on a carrier on the ack bumper.
An expensive exercise but gave me a decent rage whichever fuel was available.

Regards,
Brett

Had my 60 series changed over in July. Mine also had a 70 litre after market tank installed along the belly.

After removing the main tank and the spare wheel the I was able to get two 85 litre LPG tanks fitted in the space. It gives 140L of usable gas and hangs down lower than the spare wheel originally did, giving heaps of ground clearance.

Cost savings are great, with about $60 giving my 500km around town and 600km on the highway. Good luck with it!
