Pipe is 8 mm!!! Will talk to Tinley tomorrow and order tank (90 L) and pipe. The pipe was fitted to Cliff's car which got scrapped. Also need to order the hose from the inlet nozzles back to the solenoids. I can't thank you guys enough and I have to say a very very special thank you to Cliff. He has been on the phone for ages describing everything so I have a good idea what's turning up. A very sound gentleman

That he is! We had some long, late night conversations when he was working through his!

I'd advise against ordering anything until we talk tomorrow so we can (hopefully) make sure you only order what you need but get it all in one order

[doz]

Ok. I've got Taxi Al turning for a brew tomorrow night as well. As they say two heads are better than one...... you see mine don't count it's just a pot for holding a vacuum 

[Lazydocker]

You can call me during the day if you get chance

[doz]

Cheers. Just been totting up the tank etc. GULP!!

Here's what I think my Tinley shopping list comes to. I've been generous on some of the pipe lengths

Tank.             211.10  90 Litre
injector hose       4.80 (2 metres)
clips               1.20 injector hose clips
Manifold nozzles.  16.32(2 X 4)
main pipe          22.94 (10 metres)8 mm poly pipe
pipe clips          6.48 (2 X 10) for poly pipe
Level Sender       12.54
Filler             24.00  90 Degree 70 mm hole.
Filler boot         3.78  Fer fek's sake
Filler hose        16.01

VAT @20%           63.84         

Total              383.84       

The only parts I can see I can use from my old set up are. Level sender and filler hose. Which in the grand scheme of things isn't a lot. I haven't listed the pipe fittings. Cliff said there was some in the kit but until I get it won't know if I need anymore.

[Lazydocker]

Speak with Tinley before ordering (if ordering from them) and they'll put the kit together

Be warned that the 90L tank is a bit of a fiddle to get in... Ideally you need to drop the Bose shelf out The 80 is much easier

Oh... And I didn't see a tank frame on the list I'd wait for the parcel from Cliff and then you know what you need to order

And 10m is way more poly pipe than you need! But you need to order the ends for it too

[doz]

I'll use my old frame. It's from 400 dia tank which is the same as the new one. I'll also be re-using the hose which the main feed goes through. I know I know. Cheapskate

if you are going to have the agg of fitting a 90 litre tank,then you might as well go the whole hog and throw a 100litre in there.

[doz]

Going by the tank measurements its not much bigger than my old 70 litre. Diameter is the same just slightly longer. If I went for the 100 it would be almost touching the shock towers. Doing it this way will leave a couple of inches at the ends. Of course i could of buggered the measurements up

[Entwood]

Is it really worth all the extra hassle over 10 litrs ?? you only actually get 8 litres extra LPG (80% rule) which is 1.76 galls .. at an average of 20 mpg on LPG that is an extra 35 miles/tank .... if you are running that critical should you be on gas anyway

Just a thought

[sassanach]

what extra hassle?
