LPG a car with no spare wheel?

[Fetchez la vache]

Hi Peeps. Been toying with getting in s-max with the 2.5 petrol engine and LPGing it, but the thing doesn't have a spare wheel, where I believe the tank would usually go. Are there other options / what would people advise?
Cheers all.

Many will have you believe its melts your tyres and means you can't use it agan or something.

others will disagree.

Two replies from people who didn't read the OP, good effort!

Pannier tanks to go under the sills might be an option, I've seen them fitted to Range Rovers, though I'm not sure how much space is available under there on a Smacks.

S-Max must have a big boot, could see about putting a tank in there and box/carpeting it?

From what I have read on the ST owners club LPG'ing the 5 cylinder motor isn't the best idea - those that have tried, it has not ended well. Dunno if the same is true for the S-Max.

If you do convert to LPG then a can of squirty foam will work, or just call the **Insert breakdown company of choice** and get them to sort it.

Just put an empty can of tyre weld in the boot and fill it with LPG.

4 people now who didn't read the OP. Wonder how many we'll have in the end up?

I would advise that you word your post more clearly, so that people can work out if you are asking about the lack of a spare or where to locate an LPG tank.

if the later I would advise calling a company who do conversions and asking them.

I could be wrong, but I think number 3 is meant to be a joke.

ETA - or the last one if that's number 4?

It's very clear. Unless the person reading is simple.

I think I'm too simple to tell the difference.

Anyway I did a google to see what I could find to help.

Glad I'm not the only one who could clearly understand what the OP meant.

Me neither. Perfectly obvious.

I guess there could be logic here. too simple to understand the post, then you probably wouldn't know where to put an LPG tank

how about

doh yes sorry should have read the OP properly appologies chaps

Tyreweld should be fine

Cheers for all replies, and my membership to the clear English campaign has been duly cancelled

I'll take a hunt on the focus ST owners club site. It just threw me a bit to be honest. If they have to put a tank in the boot that removes the point of having something big and practical in the first place, but if that engine isn't easily LPG-able then it's back to the drawing board.
