Spot the deliberate mistake in the one picture that shows any of the LPG system. Clearly the work of a UKLPG fitter muppet. ::)

Please tell us  :)

The airtight box housing the tank valve needs to be vented through the floor of the vehicle and the vent pipe needs to descend continuously from the airtight box to where it exits the vehicle, because LPG vapour is heavier than air and will otherwise "pool" in the airtight box or pipework.

He has taken the ducting over the top of the airtight box and down the other side, so, in the event of a leak, the airtight box and most of the ducting would remain full of LPG vapour.

It may not have been a deliberate mistake, but if not, it shows that the fitter had no knowledge of the fuel he's working with. Hard to believe. It's a bit like a plumber fitting an overflow pipe from a toilet up and over a wall before exiting the building and expecting it to do any good. ;D
