Got 2 used doughnut tanks to clear. One with gas i believe. one is 90L from a P38 range rover and the other a 70L i think fitted at factory to a rover 75 estate. i'll get photos later.
£45 each - collection from warwick or birmingham

Are they horizontal or vertical mounting?

I'd guess they are gone but both would have been horizontal.
The only vertical tank I can remember was the Rangerover Classic...
Hope that helps. .

Still got them. the small one was factory fitted into a Rover 75 estate, so only 70 litres. the bigger one was from a late P38 range rover IIRC, so 90-100 litres IIRC. If i've still got them in a few week i'll be weighing them in.

I’m wondering if I can convert it to run vertically...

Yes you can but you may not get the level guage/lights to read correctly.

I’m wondering if I can convert it to run vertically... It's the multivalve that dictates the orientation of the tank. This will probably need replacing for vertical installation unless the float operation can be modified. |

They seem to be generally more problematic than cylinders or horizontal torodials. You can buy vertical tanks but nobody seem to recommend them.

They are essentially the same as horizontal tanks, it's primarily the multivalve that is different. The truth is that the majority of cars have a horizontal spare wheel well so people tend to replace the wheel with a horizontal tank. A vertical tank sticking up out of a horizontal wheel well would look a bit daft!! Both of my Range Rovers are on LPG. One has a vertical toroidal tank mounted where the spare wheel was, the other has a conventional tank mounted in the rear load bay. I have never had any trouble with either of them but its fair to say that the conventional tank virtually removes the ability of the RR to be used as an estate car!! On the other hand the vertical tank takes up pretty much the same space that the spare did so has no impact at all on the usability of the car as intended. |

You’ve done exactly what I was planning!
My last raro had a 40litre sausage tank tucked in the drivers side rear. It was hopeless, nowhere near enough capacity.
I figured a 100 litre one replacing the spare wheel would give a decent range without sacrificing the load area.
Sadly the MOT man went full retard on my chassis, so welding is now the first priority! 🙁
