V40 Dual-fuel Boot Area

[Dav-G]

Hi again.

Does anyone have a factory-fitted dual-fuel LPG V40?

If so, can you tell me whatg the boot area looks like?
Even send me a photo of it?

I've had LPG fitted to mine, but have a dilema regarding what tank to fit. As the spare wheel wellis very small, I can only fit a tiny doughnut tank in there without fouling the wheel well cover.

Someone told me the dual-fuel V40's boot area was identical to a standard one, so I could buy & fit the raised boot floor cover fitted to dual-fuel V40s. This would allow me to fit a far larger doughnut tank beneath it, like a factory-fit dual-fuel V40.

But the exploded diagram my Volvo dealer gave me makes out that the boot area is slightly different to a standard V40's, making me doubt if the raised boot floor cover would easily fit into my V40's boot area.

If anyone can tell me about it, or send a photos, or even allow me to come and view their V40, I would be greatly appreciative!

Thank you.
Regards,
Dave.

dont forget to put stronger springs in the rear to cope with the extra load and expect 10%lower fuel economy roughly .Put colder plugs in close the gap up a bit .Use quality oil and change it on time. Gas interreats with oil and makes it a bit acid .25 years of using lpg doing my own work says I know what I am talking about .
