I think the firmware update from a couple of years ago updates 300plus to 300 ISA.  So what I run on TBE, and what I'll run on the bullet if ever I could be arsed to update the firmware on that

[doz]

Aye. I'm looking at injector nozzle sizes. I've gone back to the stag manual I've found on line. As the omega is sequential injection it recommends a size between 2.4 to 2.6 as long as the reducer pressure is 1 bar. God this is getting complicated.

On top of that I've got to work out what water pipe to plumb in to for the vaporiser. Get's a bit complicated because of the 3 way valve we've got fitted. Please don't tell me it's the pipe hidden right round the back of the block...... it is isn't it. Right who's got the smallest hands!!!

Have a flick through the guides that Kevin Wood wrote for the V6

Cheers. Having a look now. I've just worked out my savings. Doing the mileage I do the kit will pay for it's self in 10 months. Very pleased.

There's no guide for the V6 Front End but it's not massively different to the 4 pot

It's a Stag 300 ASE (letters maybe wrong) kit. I was with the guy when he looked up the jet size from the Stag paperwork so I guess the kit comes with specific parts not just made up of bits.

Stag paperwork talks a load of 'dangle berries' for some things and the Stag bit refers purely to the ECU

Read the guide for the 4 pot

You want the "Helter Skelter" pipe that goes from the block to the HBV for the feed Search the Gallery Section for "LPG" posts by Kevin Wood, JayW and/or Myself for a few pictures of V6 conversion

Does anybody know the hole cutter size I need to fit the gas cap in the the quarter panel?

70mm IIRC

If you have a tow bar then it can be mounted on that

Sorry lazy but it cant if youyou want the can registered with the uklpg. Can't have the filler point anywhere in a crumple zone. The rules changed last year I believe.

[doz]

Have you got a link to that info? I've just looked on their web site and can't find any info. Funny thing is the installers I have spoken to over the last few days did mention still mounting it on the tow bar. Problem is where ever you fit the filler will be a crumple zone as it all depends in which direction you were hit. I plan to fit mine behind the petrol filler in the offside quarter panel.

Sounds like you had a fussy inspector Marie... Mine passed fine and many, many "Professionals" are utilising the tow bar

I'd not heard of an update to COP 11 TBH.

Doz, PM me an email address and I'll email you a copy of COP 11 (although it's several years old). Most of it is common sense really

That's what I was thinking. Would have preferred the bumper so as to maintain the cubby hole in the boot, but that seems like a lot of work! I have a removeable tow bar too, so that option is out anyway.

Your not planning on sending me some disturbing pictures are you?

[Entwood]

Regardless of the "legality" of using the towbar under COP11 .. a quick thought ....

If you have a towbar fitted, then the assumption is that you will use it to tow something ..... I have seen a few folks towing have serious problems getting the LPG nozzle to attach correctly when the filler is on the towbar and they have a trailer connected, especially those trailers (caravans) that have the larger ALKO or WINTERHOFF hitches with the built in stabilisers.

Just a wee thought ... I have no problems as my filler is on the offside wing just behind the petrol filler

Take a look at this inlet fannymould on the Pit. Do the jets look in the right place?

There was a time when Kevin was doing a "swap" of drilled manifolds ... he provided a drilled one, you gave him your old one which he then prepped for the next conversion ... don't know if he still does that ??

I have PM'd Kev but no answer yet. Just trying to keep all bases covered
