Are we 100% sure that when these are fitted in a saloon spare wheel well on the passenger side, it does block access to the light cluster?
-
yes i would have thought so tunnie. but this is dependent on the size of tank you put in too. my tank is the same size as my spare ( i have a full size spare)
try gettin to the cluster when the spare is in its place. to see how much room you have.
-
sort off,you CAN work around it

Reason i ask is i have had my saloon for 3 years now, and i have never touched the light clusters at the back, no bulbs have gone in 3 years!
Only bulb to go so far is a drivers main one.

Any feasability in changing them for LED light bulbs before setting the tank in place ? ---- that should minimise the chances of a failure and the need to get back in there.

LPG was 69p a litre at the local BP today, petrol was £1,19.
Even with my super low millage i could get it back in a year.
I spend about £130 a month on fuel (2 tanks)
So that works out at £1,560 a year in fuel.
£700 for the DIY kit?
Less than 12 months use and its paid for itself
-
well if your going to fitt a tank why not as a precautionary measure replace all the bulbs in that cluster its not as if they cost the earth and keep the ones you take out as spares.
just an idea but thats what i would do!
edit: i have lost my touch Need to type faster!

Was thinking that, I have not replaced any in 3 years! so if they all do me another 3 years would be fine.

with the tank in place its easier to remove the light cluster complete,however you only have to loosen the strap holding the tank down and tilt it to one side to gain access.

I had BOTH single filament tail lamps go on my car last week end. They must've both blown together as I only had the warning message once.
-
They are also much more pricey!!!! I wasn't sure on the mounting of a vertical torroidal as I was under the impression they had to be attached to a metal frame. :-? :-? :-/ :-/ :question :question
Nice to see you around again Marie... I hope things are settling down for you! :y :y :y :y

i dunno if i got any ???
worked out at £620
-

-

I did :y
If Maries was £620, 4pot kits must be cheaper.
I would pay £80 extra for Dougnut tank....

No but it was talked about in the past and, as there seems to be plenty of interest, it might be worth paving the way...

By my reckoning he has sold a fair few to OOF members -- and a few more in the pipeline. Might be an idea to sign him up to the forum -- an expert on tap, so to speak.
-
That was for the full kit.
4 pots are cheeper the back end kit was £235 and its for the largest tank you ca fit in your motor well thats what he told me. i could only fit a 50ltr tank in but it does 240 miles. so i ant complaining.

He is a very busy man and i dont think he has ample time to answer his emails let alone check the forum each week let alone daily.
sorry but i have been awaiting for soem paperwork off him since i brought the kit off him way back and it stll not arrived! >:( and thatseven after several phone calls

Did you have a standard tank or doughnut?
Cause you can fit 100L standard tanks in the Omega.

I can't afford the loss of my boot, can't fit snowboards in!
I also like my sub, give the sounds a bit more of a kick.
£620 sounds a bloody bargin!! i could recoup that in 5 months!
-
i only need four injectors though so yours might be a bit dearer. see what jeremy says.
but from what i hear he is uncontactable at the moment. in other words hes not pickin his mobile up or returnin his calls.
-
Tunnie, this link gives you an idea of the current commercial rates and you'll see that an extra £100 is applicable for a vertical doughnut tank.

Agreed, Tunnie. It pays to shop around. :y

for my 80 Litre cylinder tank and complete front end kit i paid £630.
As far as i was concerned this was a complete bargain.
Bit surprised Jeremy isn't picking up calls, normally he is quite good

Tinley Tech are very good, and offer full telephone support... But they are much more pricey than Jeremy!! ;) ;) ;)

Hopefully it's just a case that he has just taken a holiday and will spring back all refreshed in a short while !

i need to speak to him as well as i need some tech advice

Just tried an email -- got bounced right back as permanently undeliverable :(

That's what I had to do yesterday to replace a bulb, so I am pleased to hear you can move those gas tanks once installed! :y
