Well worth the money for anyone that's thinking of converting. Unfortunately, I can't think of one filling station where I could get LPG around here.

Is LPG really a viable option these days? Seem to be very few places around here, though as i don't use it i might just have not noticed i suppose.  :-\

Not viable where I live any more unfortunately, but may well be still viable in other areas ?  :-\

Can't see how that would work. Surely, once the pressure between the bottle and the gas tank equalised, you'd still have half of a bottle left. If you connected again, you'd have a quarter, etc.  :-\

Yep, it would need a transfer pump

Gravity , liquid "gas" is heavier than "gas" as a gas  :P

Ok, so you'd have to put your gas bottle high up and upside down  ;D

What a faff  ;D
So, with a two metre cable and  an upside down, heavy gas bottle, I would imagine you'd look like a little bit of a tit outside your terraced house  ;D

I guess, I've not tried  :-\
I Did have(and still do :-[) an LPG kit for my Carlton ,but never got round to fitting it .
I need the boot space ,an LPG tank takes up at least 1 dead body of space  :P

But, I agree ,holding a 47KG propane cylinder over your head to transfer gas might be a bit awkward  :-\
