Ah, Crap 

Multivalve snags, tonight.

The filler aspect of the valve is fine - but being a toriodal tank the outlet is quite close to the inner wall of the tank, and requires an elbow. Well I screwed the elbow in - but with the poly adaptor, it needed to move just a couple of degrees clockwise.

I nipped up the elbow - honestly quite gently - and the barsteward thing has broken off in the multivalve.I just hope it comes out with an easy-out, otherwise, it's new multivalve time 

Bah!

Nothing goes right for you when you fix your cars

They are the things we went and bought from the tool shop in canton, when I had to remove that spark plug from the Astra....

... if it helps Jog your memory, it was the day all those armed police stopped us getting back down the road

Can you have a look please my dear? It'd save me buying a new set.

If they are at yours, I'll come down tomorrow night and get them.... we can go out for a drink or something

What kits?

What do you mean by fully qualified? Can you be partially qualified, then? 

[maria]

ok. I'll go and have a look for you babe

[andy broon]

all the cheap @ss kits you get, yes you could be partially qualified

Well, FYI mate, a number of us here have installed and used the Stag kits, over a number of miles, all with excellent results. So, in my view - the results speak for themselves.

I just had a look at your profile.... you've done pretty well to be fully LPG qualified at the age of 20.

What steps did you have to take, to get certified - do you work for a well known LPG installation company?

[andy broon]

i used to work for the best lpg company in the north of scotland (but the boss past away) i was traind there and got certified at autogas 2000ltd (north yorkshire) for a few systems, than went to wales to greenfuel and got qualified with brc, and then again with autogas 2000 i went over to italy to research tartarini. so yes i have bone quite alot even if i am only 20. i have fitted many gas systems and know what works and what doesnt, i had a guy who installed one of those stag systems in his car and it was g@ash and i had to re install the whole system again.
what kind of tank have you got in the boot?

Fair enough mate. Well I'm sure your experience and training is a credit to you - genuinely - well done

I will stand up for the fact though, that loads of us have used this stag kit, with absolutely no problem and great results.

I can think of

My 2.5 V6 CDX
My 2.0 CD
Kev's 3.2 MV6
Jaime's MV6
Marie's 2.0 CD Estate
Lazydocker - V6
Chrisgixer - V6

... the list goes on.

Between us we have racked up tens of thousands of miles plus on the stag kits, and have never, ever, had a serious problem

I'd imagine your mate may have just been a one off, unlucky experience?
