Another mod coming up I guess. Does it never cease?
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
NO
Another mod coming up I guess. Does it never cease?
I guess it was not inside a box?I don't want to get into a clash of ideas here so will refrain from further comment except to say the gas bottle I saw come off a vehicle was supposedly held on by a strap, not checked for ages, and it was a lethal missile then, when it hit the road, the valve burst and a danger to all within surrounding area.
I don't muck around with gas. Near enough is not good enough, as said.
Ha ha, some of you will be happy to hear that I have removed the chainsaw and fuel.....
....I got the sh**s with it leaking bar oil inside the box
The box only contains a plastic toolbox plus tie downs/ramps/hoses/leads now...
I am more worried in that situation with the stuff people just fling into the back of their wagons that just sit there waiting, waiting to embed themselves in the back of you and your passengers head............................
That would have been messy :washing:The painters van in an mva I recently attended where the driver wore a 10L tin of paint to the back of the head was interesting....
That is a nice set-up....
Any reason you chose a single line over the twin?
EDIT: just saw you have the 2way valve mounted, but no pig tails......
My local gas bloke sells stainless braided lines in a range of lengths at relatively low cost, much better than having hard copper lines getting moved/bent/bumped all the time and fatigueing the joints/rubbing through the grommet in the box....
The stock mounts can't be used in my set up anyway, as there is not enough room to lift them out vertically, hence a soft mount is essential.
I can also assure you I have seen far more gas cylinder incidents and mva's than the average joe, and am fully aware of what happens in car crashes and gas fires.
I'm satisfied with the security of the cylinders, and am confident it far exceeds the standard shown on many other factory set-ups.
Thanks for the feedback, if you guys want to inspect it in person, you better bring a 6pack![]()
True that willis, with your experience in this field and your mechanical/eng skills I would be more than satisfied you've done a solid job and considered the safety/security side involved with mounting these cylinders
Still haven't heard back when I can book mine in lol. Have a good crissy!
Hey David, in your spare time can you send me some pics through of how to attached your toolbox and the gas bottles please?Well said @Dobbie and totally agree!
Yes but the bottle was stationary and got knocked over..... a large industrial bottle.... I won't go into details but lets just say seeing grown men running with skin literately melting from arms and legs is a sight that doesn't get wiped easily from the old memory bank!!!! Even after 30+ years since it happened!
@nawill I have a similar setup to yours but used the original metal holders braced underneath back to the original mounting brackets... Can almost see them in the attached!

Pics sent Dee but will get better ones on the weekend if you want?Hey David, in your spare time can you send me some pics through of how to attached your toolbox and the gas bottles please?
Adding life to an old post, I am planning this same toolbox and bottles as dagree. Also from sunny wa I see. My question is, should the bottles be in seperate compartments. I have read that they should. If so will cheap Bunnings checkerplate riveted or strong double side tape be an adequateWell said @Dobbie and totally agree!
