LPG guide
« on: 19 May 2010, 06:30:23 »

Just been having a look in the guides section at the various threads composed by Lazydocker on the subject of DIY LPG. Looks like a hell of a lot of effort was put into compiling that lot.
Well done Paul (and others who helped) brilliant. :y :y

Wouldnt do it on someone elses car John, would do it on something I had sat in the drive and probably take forever doing it, and if it was mine it wouldnt matter so much if I messed up. ;)

It's worth considering that filling with LPG is more of a faff than petrol. Often there are only 2 LPG pumps, co-located with petrol and diesel pumps, so you have to queue for them, wait for people to do their weekly shop in the attached M&S before shifting their cars >:(, etc. and then LPG pumps are out of service more often than petrol pumps, IME. Some also fill painfully slowly (10 minutes to fill an 80L tank! and some, with a 4 hole tank, are faster than filling with petrol :-/).

Just another thought for the melting pot. :y I thought 150-200 miles range would be fine for me, and very nearly went for such a tank, but in retrospect I'm glad I fitted an 80L tank now.
