I'm driving my Chevy G20 van on long road trips and I'm thinking about installing
an LPG tank to cut down on fueling costs.

As I understand the tanks will take a lot of room. I'd like to hear from anyone who's done it.

Hi Torgunfu, Welcome to the site!


I worked for a shop that had a Ford with a propane conversion. I am unsure as to a propane install on a fuel injected vehicle. The propane feeds into the top of the carb. Ours was a dual fuel unit, gasoline, or propane. Tank was in the bed, and it is not small.

Yes. In 1996 Flint produced 16,239 matching make and models of Chevy G30 vans.

Thanks, Wedgy.

I'd love to see photos of a van with LPG conversion. I'm looking for them on the net but haven't found any
so far. The tank takes so much room... I wonder if it is possible for it to be placed outside, under the floor.

I have two tanks under the floor on my 79 G30 they are torpedo style tanks and sit between the outer chassis rail and the rocker panels. Fitting required a little cutting to the strengthening plates that sit in the gap.
Have a look on this thread for photos.....

Oh and LPG can be done with fuel injected motors, they tend to be more expensive but also more advanced and efficient.
