Title: 6 cylinder lpg
Post by: EMD on 23 January 2015, 16:17:22: Has anyone got a recommended lpg installer to use ? Any price guide to a V6 :-\ Gas tank can be slung underneath , looking at a big tank , not sure of sizes but it will go under the boot on the truck :y

Yet another clear example of why egay should be avoided.

Not sure what current prices are like, but that strikes me a pricy for the front end bits only excluding any consumables, so you will need nozzles, hose and clips, all mounting and plumbing hardware, a programming cable, some polyflex hose to the rear, tank, valve and valve box, tank mounting hardware, filler and so on.

And I'd be happy to pay a small premium for PRINS, as it is a better system

Thanks tig , quite a low warranty considering , is that valvecare worth the extra :-\

Post by: Sir Tigger KC on 23 January 2015, 17:32:34: Mine has a Prins VSI system which was installed at 56000 ish miles and I've just taken her through 230,000 miles. 8) No valvecare on it either. ;)

Any problems I've had with it have been related to general engine problems such as coolant leaks, rather than the LPG system itself. :y

So I'd say it's a good advert for Prins! Maybe I should contact them and they'll give me a large cash reward! ::) ;D

Post by: TheBoy on 23 January 2015, 17:36:38: Valvecare/flashlube is only required if the valves are too hard in the head. GM V6 doesn't need it.

Indeed... The only common factors with the Omega V6 are the badge and the fuel :D
