Tunnie's LPG Fitting - Front End Pics(56k WARNING)
« on: 27 March 2010, 21:18:52 »
Some pictures of the front end installation...

Air intake and Throttle Bodies Removed (Interesting use for Tunnie's hat! ;D)


HBV "Helter Skelter" pipe cut and connectors fitted


Inlet Manifold Removed and Cable tray scrapped for ease of re-fitting in limited space


Existing loom tidied up


Sorting the loom, it looks worse than it is!


Getting there... The loom is all pointing in the correct directions!


The liquid feed pointed the wrong way so a 90 degree elbow was required (thanks to Teilo for speedy delivery)... This needs thread lock too


Vaporiser in place (temporarily) to check all connections before permanent fixing


The extra wiring will fit in the 4 pot cable tray :y


Digging out the required wires in one of the ECU plug


There it is! ;D


And soldered, ready for heat shrinking (Don't look Kevin, not my best joint :-[)

The 2 required from the other ECU plug


Apart from the extra wires (through the grommet) you wouldn't know I'd been in there :y


The wires for the switch in the cabin ready for connecting up


All soldered up and heat shrink sorted. This was then taped into a loom and pulled back through


The fitted switch, showing full tank and running on LPG :y


The finished engine bay... Larger picture for better viewing :y


Hopefully there'll be a How 2 written up soon :y :y

Good stuff LD, RE my hat, i was going to use paper towels but i felt it would disappear down the inlet, used to use a old dish cloth, but could not find that. So my hat filled the purpose!  ;D

Tunnie and Paul, please accept my apologies for not being able to make it. I was rather dissapointed I couldn't make it.
This has been an interesting thread, I now nothing of LPG at all, well only the very basics of what it is in basic form...so it has been an interesting read.

No worries Josh... Was a shame as I was looking forward to meeting you, but selling cars is far more important ;) :y

I may be down your way next weekend for a meeting if you're around? Might be able to meet up :-/

Indeed, selling cars and keeping the dosh rolling in is much more important  :y

Awesome job...  Looks tidier in the engine than mine ever has, even before I started "playing" about, pretending to be a mechanic..

I really do stand in Awe...

Think Tunnie found my attention to detail a little "Anally Retentive" at times... Especially when he was trying to bodge something ;D ;D
