LPG UNDERFLOOR TANKS ARE VAPOUR TAKE OFF TANKS - SPECIALLY DESIGNED FOR DOMESTIC USE ONLY (COOKING,
HEATING, BBQ, FRIDGE, GAS GENERATORS…). AN UNDERFLOOR BULK TANK WILL FREE YOUR GAS LOCKER WHICH CAN BE
VERY VALUABLE SPACE. IT IS A MUST IF YOU ARE TRAVELLING ABROAD AND IT’S CONVENIENCE OF USE WILL ALLOW YOU
TO STAY SELF SUFFICIENT MUCH LONGER.
UNDERFLOOR TANKS WORK ON 4 HOLE / VALVE SYSTEM:
1)AUTOMATIC STOP FILL VALVE – THE FILLING WILL AUTOMATICALLY STOP ON 80% OF CAPACITY SO YOU DO NOT NEED TO
CHECK HOW MUCH GAS YOU HAVE LEFT IN YOUR TANK, YOU SIMPLY TOP UP AT ANY TIME.
2) TAKE OFF SAFETY VALVE WITH LIQUID PROTECTION TUBE - FEEL SECURE THAT YOU WILL NEVER GET LIQUID GAS INTO
YOUR SYSTEM DURING FILLING, TRAVELLING OR EVEN IN AN ACCIDENT.
3) PRESSURE RELEASE VALVE – BIGGEST DIAMETER OF PRESSURE RELEASE VALVE ON MARKET TODAY.
4) ELECTRONIC CONTENT GAUGE – CONNECTED WITH LED GAUGES FITTED IN THE CABIN TO SHOW YOU THE CONTENTS OF
THE TANK WITH 4 GREEN LIGHTS (20 %, 40 %, 60 %, and 80 %) EVERY TIME THE IGNITION IS SWITCHED ON.
BULK TANKS CAN BE FITTED TO MOST CAMPERS, HOWEVER THERE ARE A FEW EXCEPTIONS.
IDEALLY IT WOULD BE FITTED UNDERNEATH ON EITHER SIDE OF THE CHASSIS BEHIND THE BODY SKIRTS.
TANKS CAN BE MOUNTED INSIDE THE CHASSIS RAILS EITHER IN FRONT OF OR BEHIND THE REAR AXLE.
ANOTHER OPTION IS TO MOUNT THE TANK INSIDE - UNDER A SEAT BASE, BED UNIT OR IN THE GARAGE. THERE HAS TO BE A
MINIMUM GROUND CLEARANCE OF 225 mm (9 “)
TO FIT THE TANK WE WILL TAKE 6 TO 8 HOURS SO PLEASE ALLOW A WHOLE DAY.
PLEASE NOTE ALTHOUGH YOUR VEHICLE MAY APPEAR TO BE IDENTICAL TO ONE FITTED WITH A GAS TANK, THE
DIFFERENT SITING OF WATER TANKS, PIPES, HEATER DUCTING, UNDERFLOOR LOCKERS AND SUCH LIKE, CAN MAKE IT
DIFFICULT TO ASSESS WHETHER IT IS POSSIBLE TO FIT THE UNDERFLOOR TANK AND WHAT MAXIMUM SIZE IT WILL BE.
CAMPER CHASSIS VARY FOR EXAMPLE:
MOST OF THE LOW LINE ALKO CHASSIS WILL TAKE MAXIMUM 38 L (230 DIA).
OLDER ALKO CHASISS CAN BE FITTED WITH TANKS UP TO 70 L.
ON BOXER CHASSIS IT WILL BE FROM 30 L.
THE HOBBY 7OO PRE 2001 WILL TAKE A 70 L (300 DIA) TANK BUT A NEW HOBBY 700 WILL ONLY TAKE A 55L (270 DIA). MOST
CAMPERS WITH DUCATO MAXI CHASSIS WILL TAKE FROM 30 L UP TO 55L (270 DIA) ETC.
WHAT SIZE WILL GO ON YOUR MOTORHOME?
MEASURE THE DISTANCE FROM THE FLOOR OF MOTORHOME DOWN TO THE GROUND, FROM THIS MEASUREMENT TAKE
THE MINIMUM CLEARANCE OF 225 mm (9”), REST IS MAXIMUM DIAMETER THAT YOU CAN USE. IN TABLE BELOW FIND THE
APPROPRIATE DIAMETERS OF THE TANKS AND COMPARE TANK LENGTHS WITH THE SPACE AVAILABLE UNDER YOUR
MOTORHOME. TANK SHOULD BE FITTED MINIMUM 300 mm FROM THE WHEELS AND WITH REASONABLE CLEARANCE FROM
EXAUST PIPE. |
