I have just bought 2003 Ford Falcon BA Station Wagon. It is on factory fitted LPG and the spare tire is in boot. The LPG tank is under the body. How many seats I can fit into it and how can I find out how many are allowed?

I was just searching on Google and found that you can actually fit extra seats in wagon.
Should I contact NSW RMS to find out more information?
I suspect you'll need an engineering certificate (which installers would give you when installing seats) because technically its a vehicle modification.

Were they sold new from the factory with additional seats? otherwise looks like you will need it cert'd.
I would speak to RMS and not take general advice from the internet (not matter how correct or awesome us ozbargainers are)
Where will the spare tyre go if you put two more seats in the back?
Tyre can easily stay a the same place if you just put two seat.
There are ads for a couple of places that specialise in adding an extra two 'dickie' seats in the back in the NRMA open road magazine. I haven't got a copy handy, but I can look it up at home if you want.
I think they include the RMS blue slip certification as well. From memory, around $500 is the cost.Yes Please
Hey Tipu,
Did you actually manage to install in LPG falcon, I am in similar boat and need your advice
I am in similar boat and need your advice
Yes, Falcon wagons do handle like a boat don't they.
Seating capacity doesn't change usually.
