Re: Converting a liquid tank to a vapour tank

I tested it out this weekend and all seems well, i chucked the tank in the back of my car, drove down to the filling station and put 10 litres of lpg in, took it back to my van and plumbed it in, everything works perfectly! My next issue is attaching the tank as I've put 10 litres of gas in it, it's ...

Re: Converting a liquid tank to a vapour tank

I contacted Tinley Tech, and they got back to me with the part I needed, an m14 to 8mm poly fitting. Annoyingly the rest of my stuff is 8mm copper compression, so I have had to also buy a length of 8mm poly pipe, and an 8mm poly to 8mm copper connector too. Costs are mounting...! It's on its way, so ...

Re: Converting a liquid tank to a vapour tank

Righty ho,

I got my tank, and ordered what (I thought) I needed. And I'm almost ready to put it all together.

Here is the multivalve pics http://m.imgur.com/a/1fUXr , pic 1 is with the take off tube turned around and bent up, so far so good.... Then the other two photos are of the intake & the ...

Re: Converting a liquid tank to a vapour tank

Oh right, the tank has the pickup as part of the tank rather than attached to the removable solenoid valve, that's what confused me when I was looking at those output valves. Still I'd rather not go down the drilling holes route! Good to know though.

I've found a 45l stako toroidal 630x190 ...

Re: Converting a liquid tank to a vapour tank

I was more concerned about the outlet valve of a 4 hole being more of a pain to convert to vapour than a multivalve. I've not seen a 4 hole outlet valve in person so no idea if it would be possible to do something similar like turning the uptake pipe upside down in a multivalve, I assumed that the ...

Re: Converting a liquid tank to a vapour tank

Excellent! Thanks for a good reply, plenty of good info, it's confirmed my initial thoughts that a single multivalve would be better than a 4 hole tank.

I'm planning to install the tank under the floor in between the chassis rails of my Luton sprinter, I want to keep the gas out of the van to give ...

Converting a liquid tank to a vapour tank

Am I right in thinking that I can empty an lpg tank, take off the multivalve, turn the liquid take off pipe upside down, put it back together again, and I'd have a functioning refillable gas tank I could use for my campervan?

If so, what are the dangers of doing so? I'd rather hear productive ...
