My current tank is a single hole toriodal - although between us we've used mixture of 4 hole / toriodal all with great results.

I'm using 6mm polyflex hose for the main pipe run, and 8mm for the filler.

In my experience, this maintains a consistent gas pressure at the vaporisor, certainly on the 2.5.

For a V6, we usually size the injectors around 2.7mm.

To be honest, only a small number of pumps can dispense at a decent speed anyway, so I just grin and bear it :D

That's the spirit :D

Mine's going OK. Tank is nicely mounted, and now all gas tight vents sorted.

Need to sort out an elbow for the multivalve, and then connect that up.

From there, it's just the front end, so get a coolant feed from the bridge, to Vap, and back to HBV... drill and tap the manifold for the nozzles, and general plumbing / electrickery  :y

It is all my fault - my previous car had a system fitted but it never ran properly, wiriing shorted out and the ECU was in the air box.

It got rolled.

I diy fitted the kit into my current car about 4 years ago, took 4 weekends working carefully.

Romano System N

Needs a new evaporator.

Plastic fast injectors.

Intake is via long straws through the plenum into the inlet manifold.
