Is your car an estate? mine is and just deciding on what type tank to get.
i want a wheel well tank but didnt think id be able to have the vent of a centre filled tank go through as the petrol tank is there.
could you show some pictures of what youve done with tank mounting and pipe routing please?
what dimensions is your tank
cheers
andy

Other option is to go for a Full Toroidal... My preference would be a 4 hole, full toroidal, mounting it with the gas tight box towards the rear of the car making the pipe runs slightly easier and (I think) possible without removing the petrol tank :y

yeah thats what i was going to order, a 4 hole but i was just asking as the single holes work out a bit cheaper.
ive measured the wheel well to 650mm. how much would i need to allow for the gas box on a 4 hole?

You'd have to check with the tank supplier. But I believe it is mounted so that the box is in line with the top of the tank and possibly sticks out by about 10mm or so, hence mounting it with the valve at the rear of the car where the well is actually slightly bigger than 650mm IIRCC

I simply lowered the fuel tank a tad using some baton, to allow some space between the vent and the tank. No problemo  :y

Hiya Skruntie  :D

There were 3 original problems -

1) Misfire. This has been sorted with new DIS, plugs and leads.

2) HUGE fuel consupmtion. This has been sorted by changing the fuel tank for one that doesn't have a great big hole in it :D

3) Blocked Cats/exhaust. New Cats have arrived -exhaust coming this week  :y :y

Further to the last, on the LPG..

Have now mounted vaporisor to inner wing (usual spot)

Liquid gas lines all hooked up to soleniod and Vaporisor. Really tidy job.

Coolant hoses ran to bridge, and HBV....

Vapor hose routed in an awesome position... hardly visible, filter is hidden, and the two injector block feeds emerge from under the scuttle...'

This is by far the tidest LPG install I've done .... I guess practice makes perfect  :y
