Be very interested in what set up you've gone for.

It's being done by these guys ... http://www.amsautogas.com/contact.htm

BRC  Sequential System, with "Flashlube" (not specified for vauxhall but fitted anyway), an 80 ltr tank, 2 year warranty, free 1000 mile check, Autogas membership (?), French adapter, full tank of gas, LPGA certificate

 ... can't think of anything else (don't tell them but I've lost the e-mail confirmation !!)

£1850 + VAT

Did a lot of research and decided the BRC "appears" to be about the best at the moment, these guys have done my mates Rangie - he's well pleased - and they gave the phone numbers of 2 omega conversions, one 2.5 , one 3.2 ... I've not seen either but I've spoken to the owners .. who are also well pleased.

so we'll have to wait and see if the decision was a good one or not ...

Be good to see it when done (am in  Swindon)


I've got a Tartarini EPAGAS system on mine, and its superb.  THough it is slightly different to a sequential system.

Great news... Piccies would be good. I'm particularly interested in where they mount the vaporiser etc!!

As I've chosen the expensive option, and price of gas has gone up more than petrol, round here anyway (I can still get cheaper but it means travelling) .... the payback is now just under 23000 miles - it was 18000 ... I do just under 1000 miles a month so it is about 2 years.....

However ... another way of looking at it ... I bought the car with the specific intention of gassing it .. so I could write off the cost of conversion with the cost of purchase, it was budgeted for. In this case the savings are immediate .. instead of paying £80 odd to fill the car 3 times a month  I'll be paying £50 for the same mileage 3 times a month ( guestimate admittedly) .. thats a saving of £90 a month up front.

mmmm lets see ..... crappy P reg Nissan Primera 2.0 with 121000 and no air con or toys, an ABS light on all the time and a fuel gauge that doesn't work  V luxury Omega Elite 3.2 with air con and toys ......  

give me a few minutes to think about that please, it's a difficult choice ......  :)

Interested in seeing the pics too.

Under the bonnet, where the tank and the fill up point all go.

Sounds like a good idea.
