Modify my Auto Limtit Valve (AFL) for LPG

[VY CHRISSO]

Hi Guys,

Sure I'm probably going to be flamed for asking, but, has anyone, or does anyone want to admit that they have modified their AFL Valve on their LPG Tank so that it will hold more Gas?

Sure we all know it's dangerous, as the tank requires a minimum 20% air fuel ratio to allow for expansion on hot days etc, but for the person who travels to remote areas where fuel is not available, this can be usefull and save you and the Family from being stranded by running out of LPG.....

I'm about to do mine on my Patrol, as it is not Duel Fuel and I will need the extra 20 litres to get back to a fuel station this long weekend, I will fill the car while on my trip, and continue driving, never parking the car with 100% in it's Tank..................

So, anyone with any experience regarding this??

I would think that this is a pretty stupid thing to do. Get a second tank fitted.

My wife got rearended in her VY sedan. The only thing that stopped the car from being a writeoff was the spare tyre taking a lot of the impact. On my VY wagon, the donut tank is in the spare wheel well, and since she had her accident, I have been a bit concerned about what would happen if I got hit from behind.

Adding another risk of an incorrectly set AFL seems more dangerous than the few extra km it would get you per fill.

JMHO.

Fair Call, I will be towing a Camper Trailer, so rear end collision never crossed my mind....

Try and get a bigger tank or an extra tank.Id rather run out of gas with my family than blow them up.
