Hi

Thanks for your reply

I know of one P2 V70 CNG in the UK in black. I believe British Gas had a few as well.

Re the exhaust being too close to the tanks to pass COP11, is this for the single large tank for an LPG bi-fuel and also therefore the large CNG tank in the equivalent (I assume!) location?

Or the two small steel CNG tanks

I'm thinking of fitting a CNG retrofit system to a standard petrol P2 V70. Given info so far that implies the S60/V70/S80 bi-fuels have different boot floors (no spare wheel well) (any confirm please?) I was thinking of a large tank having to go in the boot. With a bi-fuel petrol tank then fitted for the standard I was thinking of installing two smaller steel tanks here as per the factory CNG bi-fuels.

Do you foresee a problem for the CNG tanks in this location given current legislation?

Does anyone have tank capacities for the LPG and CNG bi-fuel models? (P2 cars).

Anyone know the capacity of the single CNG tank installed in the S70 and Mk1 V70 bi-fuels? LPG tanks for these too?

Looking for internal or water volume rather than a fuel mass that they hold.

thanks!
