Carrying on, we went over to Tinley Tech, who are fairly close to us, to see what they had in the way of LPG tanks to go under the floor.
We came away with a 35 litre tank, mounting frame, multivalve, piping and a level gauge kit.
Cooking etc needs a vapour outlet tank, what we bought is a liquid outlet tank, so we'll need to modify the pick-up tube and make a cap for it so it takes gas from the top of the cylinder and not liquid from the bottom.
The frame mounted up OK but we're not entirely convinced by it, it's only 2mm steel, although our mounting bar is 1/4" thick 1-1/2" angle and 50mm box with 3mm walls.
It looks OK, the gauge/multivalve is going to foul the frame to get it round to 30 Degrees below the horizontal, so a bit of thought there. The mounting frame normally goes t'other way up with the tank sitting on top.
We'll have another look at it today, it may be we'll rethink the frame and fit circular brackets instead.
