It has been done but I think the problem was that the tank had to go in the spare wheel stowage under the car and was such small capacity that it wasn't worth it. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

I looked into this a couple of years ago. I spoke to a company that does LPG conversions, and they said one of the main problems (apart from the small size of the spare wheel tank) is that the spare wheel sits at an angle. A full tank is 80% full to allow expansion of the gas, but because the wheel is at an angle, it's difficult to monitor the levels. An additional tank inside might be o.k., but would use up valuable space. I didn't think it was worth it in the end. Bob. |
