Has anyone got or had made a dual fuel tank for running on LPG or Petrol that fits where the original petrol tank would fit on a Jeep Wrangler TJ.
I am planning to fit an LPG kit but I need the rear seat/boot space therefore I need a tank that will fit underneath the jeep.

Any details or ideas would be great.

Unsure if this will help but on an XJ I had, it had a small (25ltr) petrol tank strapped to a cylindrical LPG tank in place of the original tank. It's size can be a bit of a problem as 25ltrs in the 4.0 doesn't last long at all, as you will know. If you wanted to go that route then you may struggle to get a petrol tank made though, if it has to comply to certain standards perhaps? Having said that if you came up wth the dimensions, I'm sure a fabrication firm would be able to make one up for you I reckon. They'd probably be able to make a hole to use the original sender & pump too. You could also try an LPG installer and ask if you can buy a tank that would suit or buy one of those that you'd see in something like a stock car - just a small oblong tank and mount it to the LPG tank. Be warned though; it looks hideous from behind! On my XJ and of those that I've seen with that sort of arrangement, it sat about 3-4" below the rear axle. It really did look pants!
Could you not mount a LPG donut tank on its side in the boot area, like many XJ's have in place of the spare wheels?

Try tinleytech.co.uk

They do toroidal tanks and all manner of stuff for LPG

That's great thanks for the fast response guys. I'll keep digging as there must be someone that can make a tank the size of the current one divided in two.

Had an Alloy tank made that was 4 galls when I had LPG

Just had another one made that is larger(12 galls) that uses jeep sender and pump assembly. Cost £250

A small tank would be less of course.

The guy is in Wales and does loads of rally stuff.....impressive.

I got one here which I dont need, tis for either an xj or zj, cant recall which exactly cos I had one of each, Im sure it wouldnt be much different for a tj and could be altered to fit if needed, probably just the mounts, ill dig it out after the hail thunder and lightning and post a pic.

[Xj matt]

Oh brill ok mate. Where r u based??

[The Recovenator]

South Wales, I didnt dig it out yesterday as the rain never stopped, better today so will have a look safternoon

[Xj matt]

Ok spot on thank you! And that's a dual fuel tank??

[The Recovenator]

yes it is, the lpg tank is fwd of it, the slimline liquid gold tank mounts to the rear underside of the vee hicle, its sturdy enough to endure a bit of hammering, the weather is still sheeite here with plenty of localised flooding including around the small shed its stored in unfortunately, but i will try to drag it out asap

[Xj matt]

Brilliant that's great!!

Once you manage to get to the shed via the Amazon let me know. :-) I'll just need a few measurements to make sure it will fit.

Cheers.

Right .... some success but due to a having to go to see my 92 year old rebelious recycled teenager dad on a weekly basis 200 miles away, its taken a little longer than expected but the waters have receeded, the sun is watery but out and ive managed to retrieve the said tank from the deepest darkest bowels of mini me shed and here are the pics

From whence it came from hehe








Got the lpg tank that was with it n all somewhere dated 2018

Hi Tim,

Not sure if you are getting my PMs as I know they play up on here?

Cheers.
