34-2 Targa Propane Conversion


 

Good morning, all.??
?
I've done a forum search for a propane conversion on a 34-2 Targa, but haven't found a thread I thought I'd seen before.? Can anyone confirm that 6 pound tanks will fit in the lockers in a 34-2 Targa? I've found some comments on the net suggesting that they will, but no photos.

Justin,

I did the conversion to propane last year. I now have two 6# aluminum cylinders in the locker. The only modification to the locker was a ventilated false bottom. These cylinders are shorter, so the false bottom makes them easier to reach. It also keeps them from sitting in a pool of water that sometimes collects at the bottom of the locker.

Are these horizontal tanks? Or vertical tanks stored horizontally?
?
When I first started investigating this conversion, I ?could not find horizontal tanks that would fit.

The 34 after-cabin has a vertical locker. Thus, they are vertical tanks. It made that part of the conversion process easier.

Jeff, vertical stored vertically.? On the Targas the CNG locker was configured differently.? They're in the aft/port locker, in a near vertical configuration.

I converted our 1988 S36 to propane, the 6 pound tanks fit the locker and the vertical tanks work without a problem in the near-vertical locker.?
