gas bottle storage

I hope no one clobers you from behind could be messyRegards Bob
Where to next

Most cars will only make it to the bottom of the spare wheel. A 4x4 bullbar might get to the middle of the spare wheel. If clobbered from behind the gasbottle should become a projectile travelling towards the rear at speed. What about the 110ly fuel tank just in front of the steel rear bumper?

BJ, Do you know the difference between an optimist and a pessimist?

The optimist sees the donut and the pessimist sees the hole :-)

Having worked with pressure vessels, the 4 kg gas cylinder if correctly secured in a crash would be the last thing to worry about compared to a petrol fuel tank as willem has pointed out.
In the open air the 4kg of Lpg is less of a hazard than the petrol sloshing around the place.( it has a narrower fammability range than petrol) the pressure's involved is quiet low 40-60 psi depending on ambient temperature (some people have more pressure in a flimsy piece of rubber(tyres) on there car than that!

Here is a pic of my home made gas bottle holder. The gasbottle fits inside a 10lt paint tin which is bolted to the holder. I have improved the way the bottle is held in place by removing the ockey straps and placing a rolled up extension winch cable over the top of the bottle. The tie down strap hold everything in place.

Then a roofrack would be outside the body lines too....

Its a touchy subject, I remember Large amounts of chat last time...

For sure Truckster, agree.

Its more the run up the date thing.
