also just to say, the kit does not have to be fitted all in one go, i guess your like me in the you need the car to commute? in which case its not going to be feasable to fit all in one go anyway without time off or experienced help. No problem.

Its easily broken down into stages. Personally i chose to fit the injectors first, I drilled my own manifold tapped the threads safe in the knowlegde of having a spare thanks to Lazydocker.

But the spare can be pre drilled and tapped before touching the car. Once the nozels are ready with pipes attached. All that needs doing is to swap manifolds, fit injectors, fuel lines, vac and vapourisor, run the loom to injectors. Once thats done and air tight the car will run. Do the rest as and when once the car runs. The loom can be tied up out the way  in the engine bay no problem.

Then you can take as many weekends as you like to complete without the worry of beeing car less.

Its not too hard a job, "once your clear in your mind what to do before you do it" that is the key imo.

The Omega is the main car but i also have a work car here so dont need the Omega to go to work and now it looks like the good weather is here i have the cavalier back on the road so my other half will use that so i could do without the omega for a week.

Well i've just had a chat with my friend from the garage who does all the big work for me and and i've asked him if i could use one of his ramps for a week so i could have a try at fitting this LPG system and he said thats fine so it looks as if its all go, just need the system :)

My kit was £580 ish iirc (still waiting for invoice!), complete with single hole 80l tank.  4 hole tank would be approx £100 more.  Only other thing I had to buy was longer bolts for tank (which I still owe Kevin Wood/chrisgixer for  :-[).

I chose to mount my filler behind number plate, still in process of fabricating something for that, Mk3 version was so close to working well, but we have a plan for a Mk4 ;D

If its second hand tank, make sure its not too old, as mentioned before after 10 years they need to be pressure tested
