lpg tank - legalization of the gas tank or replacement of the lpg tank

Question

There comes a time that 10 years pass on gas. It's time to replace the LPG tank or maybe the legalization of the cylinder is wondering.
He thinks so until he can see what the tank looks like after 10 years and how rust does not fall off from it.
Nice movie what the gas tank looks like after 10 years is worth seeing

and only then choose.
Buying a new tank or legalizing a rusted shell with which you then have to drive in the car for the next 10 years.

If the tank is rusted, nobody will legalize it for you, so you won't have to ride with it for the next 10 years so much that you will pay to see the tank. Prices of NEW tanks on a known portal tend to be lower than the cost of legalization. If you can replace it, you save on labor - of course, I mean exchange with checking for tightness and correct installation, as it is not worth buying a new one on the portal and taking it to exchange. ..You have documents for the tank and even with self-assembly you present a diagnostician and no one asks who was installing it because they should check the correctness of assembly and tightness of the entire installation anyway - that's why gas inspection is more expensive than usual.

Post-German anti-tank mines are in better condition. The tank was mounted inside the vehicle?

Eat, replace the tank, tank and calm for 10 years. If you change the tank yourself, remember about the exact tightness. The best detector because it is very sensitive and suitable for testing the tank tightness. It must be remembered that the technical examination is paid before. So in the event of a leak it will not be made and you will have to drive and remove the leak.
If you mix it yourself then immediately a new gasket for the multivalve, a set of pressure with barrels because it is not known whether you will put it on the old ones again. By replacing the tanks with customers, I change to new ones, I turn tightness and peace for the next 10 years.

I'll tell you so - in the previous car (Audi 80 B3) I had a cylinder in place of the spare wheel. After 10 years, there was no rust on the tank. Legalization would probably pass without a problem. But when I asked the gasman it turned out that legalization of antiquities is PLN 300 and buying a new cylinder with approval is PLN 400. So probably the answer is clear that even a cylinder in good condition does not pay to legalize, let alone a rusted shell.

psooya · Answer

It pays off, as you can see, 100 cheaper than a gas pump, provided it is not rotten.
The disadvantage of legalization is time - you have to book a week or at least once it took so long
It is different if you assemble it yourself - then replacement for a new one is the most profitable and cheapest ... but as copper breaks ... you will need to extend, bend, new barrels and clamps, a new multivalve gasket ... it's fun is front and sometimes it's easier to outsource it to someone.

Comparing costs and time needed for implementation - exchange. I exchanged two weeks ago - legalization has ended too. Zr

The outer tank was under the floor, Opel Zafiara.

przemek25l · Answer

It doesn't even come without a channel or a lift. To this sometimes you need to add a new multivalve. It happened to me that the weddings were so rotten that I did not undertake cutting them. Clamps for 100% exchange.

helmud7543 · Answer

I exchanged with the multivalve, but it was a whim - folding installation and it was impossible to set the gas indicator. The old multivalve was in good condition, only muddy. Internal tank but multivalve on the outside - such a freak. Now I have everything inside.

patgaw · Answer

I don't know what happened to this tank, it must have looked like that, unless it was in the place of an external spare wheel in an amphibian. I just finished the approval for cylinders, but I still need a review of the car and I have to replace it before the next one. Anyone have any instructions on how to do it yourself?

przemek25l · Answer

You mark the weddings from the tank, then the wires. You pull out and pull out the multivalve ..
Folding upside down, remembering to replace the gasket under the multivalve.
Pipes, if they do not have tightness, then replace the clamps with barrels on the ends.

Dude, no offense, if you ask for instructions on how to replace the tank, give yourself. No point wasting life ! A workshop exchange does not cost a fortune. greetings

fazer72 · Answer

The last one I replaced the lpg tank (car imported from DE, so you have to). The cost is PLN 500, including the tank. And besides, the exchange can overwhelm you and nobody will conquer it

bt04jugok · Answer

I also have a bottle after 10 years and it doesn't look even 10% like this, actually it looks like new. This video is a fake. Sorka, I didn't read that the outer cylinder.

wnoto · Answer

Is this possible? Inspect the tank one week before the end of the approval for the tank ... this way it will drive 11 years and not 10 ....
