are second hand LPG tanks worth anything and the mixer/converter?
reason i ask is a mate has an 87 skyline, put on gas in about 95, hes thinking of wrecking it, doesn't run on petrol, its regd but no way would pass roadworthy. |

If the tank has been given a new certificate withtin the last 5 years its sellable. A decent tank and condenser should go for $300. You wont be able to get all of the copper pipes out without some serious time up your sleeves.

Re tested tanks are as good as new, but can cost $100-200 for test, a mixer and converter with that sort of age on them will need new seals/gaskets, for what's involved, new converters and mixers can be bought off ebay at reasonable prices,
Buy the tank(allow for retest cost) go new for the other bits. |

$100 is probably too much, tank won't even be set up with Ford mounts.
Better off getting a tank that was from a Ford EA onwards,(taxi's etc) $50 for one that needs a test. there are a lot of them out there, |

2 wreckers near me told me they strip LPG systems from wrecks and sell them for $700. Maybe your mate should call a wrecker posing as a buyer to get a price before letting it go for $200 or under $100. He could be giving someone the chance to make an easy $500...
