Title: LPG conversion.
Post by: Shallow Al on 04 May 2010, 18:37:59
Read with interest the diy LPG posts. Thanks for the info and how to guides Tunnie and Lazydocker.
I am really considering doing my 2 litre. I have read that the regulations may be tightened up in the future and insurance may be a problem, unless the work was done professionally or, it has been inspected and cerificated by one.
I would prefer to do it myself with a kit from Tinley Tech, would they do the inspection?
Sorry for going on a bit, its a lot of money and I dont want to mess it up. :)

The stag kits fro Teilo may be a better (and cheaper) option due to the knowledge on here...

Yep, Tinley Tech do inspections.

Personally I wouldn't buy my kit from them for 2 reasons

1. Price - the kit will probably cost you nearly twice as much as the Stag kit from Teilo

2. Support - Tinley's support is absolutely superb (there's no denying that) but they may not have as much knowledge about the kit/car combo as you'll find here ;)

Thank you.
Just seen loads more posts from Kevin Wood. I didnt think of looking in the test zone.
 How do you order Stag equipment please. I didnt think there would be such a difference in price. This forum has so much info on it, its all here and very generously shared in a good spirit. Amazing.
Had my Omega 5 months now, only bought it by accident really. It was the cheapest car I could get on the day. Done a few things thanks to the 'How to Guides' and love it. Petrol is killing me though. Watford has good availability of lpg, so seems the way to go.

I saw a Prins system on Fleabay the other day for £200!  Which if its in good working order would seem to be a bargain to me, as I believe that Prins are expensive systems.

Trouble is you'd have to take the sellers word that it was OK and be prepared to do alot of tinkering to get it going.... ::)

Prins systems are top of the range.. but costs a fortune.. and teleflex is accepted to be #2 here..

I have seen some installs , they choose only the car model and the setup parameters for ecu automatically loaded.. :-? and finished..

Thanks for replies. Will PM Lazydocker and Ernst.
I think the car is worth a new system second hand could be problems and the Stag setup is well covered on this forum.
Thanks again all. :y
