Well, the deed is done. One V6 Front end and 4 hole 80 litre tank winging its' way to me. I will make it all fit somehow, even if I have to ditch the removable towbar for a shin breaker.  ;)

Went for a 4 hole tank because the single hole multivalve is marginal with the 3.2's output power according to Jeremy due to the fact that they have a 6mm liquid pickup pipe in the limited available space. Although I may well have got away with it in practice I don't like engines going lean at full throttle. Added advantage is that the filler valve is bigger bore, too, so it will fill faster. :y

A bit of fun and games ahead for me.  :)

From my previous experiences with LPG , as you start to travel more than before consumables costs ( ie brake pads, filters, oil and sparks ) increase ..So total cost again is same  ;D :y
So does LPG knock out the oil and plugs prematurely then???? :-/

Does it knock out the engine as well (head and valves)??

Kevin,

Would you mind sharing the cost with me please??? You can PM it if you like. Just want to know what figure I'm looking at saving up before I can do mine!! I'm planning to be able to do it during August, when the weather is supposed to be good!!  ;D ;D ;D
