i have read a few things about that paul, about being able to run a grill tank, whether large bbq or small coleman type... either way, those tanks have limiters that control the free flow of the contents. Also, has to be run upside down so that you get liquid. Grills run on the gas, while most auto setups run liquid to the front where it is turned into vapor before going into the intake.

so, i think it was a 4 cylinder, and if i recall, he couldnt get very high rpms even with that due to the lack of flow. anything to get back to camp tho, that's for sure... knock on wood.

Here are a couple shots of the ends of the tank mounts, capped and smoothed with sections of curved tubing to make it less blocky. Also you can see some side supports i added to the vertical bar to make it stronger side to side.

Ok, due to popular demand, i put some extra support around the tanks. This should take care of any possible issue on a rear endover...





Lines up well with the angle of the line of the back of the chassis. Came out very well i think.



I wasn't excited about adding this as i was afraid it would kill the lines of the back of the chassis. But, after seeing how it turned out, i'm happy with it.
