Has anyone ever considered, mounting the LPG ECU inside the cabin?

I have to say, I am not 100% keen on the idea of it being in either the scuttle, or down in the self levelling area...

I guess obsticles would be, a) the size of the connector, and b) the length of the loom?

even my little 4 pot ECU, has a huge connector, going to be a pig to thread through.

Why not? One of the demonstrations Teilo does is to run an engine with the ECU submerged

when i looked where to mount mine, my memory is that it would be a mare to mount in the scuttle area without hacking out gromits or cutting then sealing a hole without chafeing wires.

However as you probably know there is a gromit by the servo of a reasonable size that Kevin, and i, used to run the the switch wires to the cabin by the lights switch.

I dont think you'd get the loom plug through from the engine bay, but you would be able to feed the loom wires through to the engine bay from the cabin leaving the plug in the space by the steering column above the pedals, fiddly but do able if the wires will reach the ecu? Which they may not, but could extend the wires, or see if there is a similar gromit/hole through the bulk head on the pass side, not so much room behind the glove box area though and far more agro to access iirc.

I suppose anythings doable given the space and time to do it. Mines bolted to the wheel arch liner forward of the front wheel. It gets some spray, but thats about it unless i submerge it in a ford or sumat daft. But i'll have more than a wet ecu to worry about if that happens.

Same here, not had any problems in 5k miles so far

Mine's in the void with the Self levelling and been fine for over 33k

Oh... And Chris... I think that large grommet has a throttle cable in it Oops... Another clue

oh yeah, mine being dbw of course.
