LPG Section
« on: 24 May 2008, 19:13:14 »
As we are getting so many LPG related threads, is there any mileage in having an LPG section, so that those intersted can find it all in one place --- and those not interested can avoid it !?

Hi All, Regarding the L.P.G i think all of us who can get converted should because it will be cheaper to run our superb luxury babes and will want us, Financially,to be able to keep more on the road.

I agree ....... but........ your not talking of splitting the forum only adding a new section to the Forum.  We ARE all omegas.  
Whether LPG, Petrol or Diesel mostly everything else is the same and the forum can hopefully help with it.

Go for it make a LPG section :y :y :y

Personally not convinced, but I'll see how this thread goes...

We don't have seperate sections for petrol or diesel, and its never been a problem  :-/


As said though, its certainly not my decision to make, but if there is reasonable support, I will support the idea.

I think it is a really good idea....

We are starting to see a lot of queries about LPG, and there is a lot of knowledge her on how to do it and some of the issues, we have in the past had repeats of the same common questions, i see it as a reference that people who have LPG or are looking to convert can see easily.

I know you can do a search, how many times do we see people posting queries and it is clear that have not used search

The reason why there hasn't been a demand for petrol or Diesel sections is because the cars came with it a standard and so they get dealt with in the help sections, LPG is different in that respect.

I don't know how hard this would be to do, why not make is a subsection to general help, see how it goes, give it say 2 months, if it dies a death then merge it into general help and let it slip down the forum?

I think its a good idea.
Would it be easier to have it as sticky thread that sits at the top of the help page, similar to the legal questions one in general chat??

Maybe the case, but the legal question thread is getting like the "add 3 words" and carry on the story thread.  If you click on all pages, it takes ages to load.
So I think an LPG thread like that could be worse.

I think some way of consolidating all the LPG related threads would be good. There is information scattered all over the forum at the moment. Maybe a separate section would be the answer.

Alternatively, perhaps a few of us who have dabbled should put together a HOWTO / FAQ document which we could use in response to questions, and add to as we gain experience?

It's a subject where the knowledge needs to be more organised on the Forum. Not sure it's "big" enough to need its' own section. :-/

only a newy but i could not help thinking, during my search for info on lpg, that an lpg section may be helpfull.
 lpg is an adition to exhisting, so i do not think the petrol/diesel argument stands up, esp. as its of no use to diesel owners. You might argue that you can not fit a diesel conversion for example? i wonder whats the ratio of lpg/diesel owners,i would bet (only a pound mind)  more people own and more importantly, are looking into lpg, esp. with the current fuel problems.
 i have searched a phew topics and have not found my info, usually because (having eventually found it by trauling through)i was not accurate enough with term or phrase. So from the outside i would say good idea. I  came to this section to post exactly that, and found this thread. :y

Excellent feedback :y


Valid points (though you can run diesels with a proportion of gas ;)).  I would suspect more tractor owners than lpg, but thats not the point...

Before we will add a seperate section, we have to be certain that it of benefit to a significant number of members, else we would be adding small sections for everything, if that makes sense.  And I don't think we're big enough to split up the community that much yet?

If the demand is there from a reasonable proportion of membership, then it will get added though - this is your site :y


Anyone else think a seperate section is warranted?
