Spare-Wheel Space and Tank Selection
A toroidal LPG tank provides a circular storage layout for a compatible vehicle installation. For a spare-wheel-well installation, match the tank dimensions, mounting arrangement and valve access to the available space.
Select the tank by its model identification and approved LPG application. Confirm the dimensions, capacity, pressure specifications and associated valve arrangement before ordering.
What Information Is Needed to Select a Tank?
Outside diameter alone does not establish vehicle fit. Tank height, mounting clearances and valve position also affect installation. Provide a drawing or measurements of the proposed location.
| Selection Item | Required Information |
|---|---|
| Product type | Toroidal LPG vehicle tank |
| Tank identification | Model number and corresponding datasheet |
| Dimensions | Outside diameter, overall height and installation clearances |
| Capacity | Nominal internal capacity and permitted filling quantity for the selected model |
| Weight | Empty tank weight, with the included components identified |
| Valve interface | Opening dimensions, mounting orientation and compatible multivalve specification |
| Mounting | Approved mounting position and required installation hardware |
| Pressure specifications | Working and test pressures stated in the model documentation |
| Approval | Applicable approval documents for the model and destination market |

Tank Capacity and Valve Matching
Nominal tank capacity and permitted fuel filling quantity are different values. Use the selected tank and filling-system documentation when stating usable fuel capacity. Do not describe the full internal volume as the amount of LPG that can be filled.
The multivalve must match the tank model and installation orientation. Confirm the valve interface, tank height, mounting angle and associated connections before selecting the assembly.
The quotation should identify every included component. List the tank, multivalve, mounting hardware, valve enclosure and other accessories separately where applicable. Do not assume that accessories are included with a bare tank.
Approval and Inspection Documents
Compliance information must identify the exact tank model. Request the applicable standard or regulation number, approval identification and supporting documents required for the destination market.
Tank identification: Model, serial or batch number and manufacturer markings.
Technical data: Dimensions, capacity, material specification and pressure values.
Inspection records: Applicable test methods, acceptance criteria and traceability.
Installation information: Permitted orientation, mounting requirements and compatible valve arrangement.
Working pressure, proof-test pressure and burst-test pressure must be labeled separately. Use the values and terminology in the tank documentation rather than transferring figures from another cylinder type.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will this tank fit any spare-wheel well?
Fit depends on the tank dimensions and the vehicle installation requirements. Check the available diameter, depth, mounting points, clearances and valve access before selecting a model.
Can an LPG tank be used to store CNG?
This page concerns LPG storage. Do not use an LPG tank for CNG service. Select equipment specifically documented and approved for the intended fuel.
How do I choose between toroidal and cylindrical tanks?
Compare the available installation space, required capacity and mounting arrangement. Read our toroidal and cylindrical LPG tank comparison for the main selection considerations.
Are the valve and mounting kit included?
Package contents must be confirmed for the selected model. Request an itemized quotation identifying the tank and each supplied accessory.
Can the color or dimensions be customized?
Customization requests require review against the available tank designs. Provide the required dimensions, finish, quantity and destination market. Confirm any effect on model approval before ordering.
