To echo all that - thanks for all the legwork you've put in, LD!

Now the question is.. is that cost best spent LPGing the Omega, or putting aside for the future project (as soon as the garage is built, that means building a Cobra replica).. probably make the money back and more LPGing the Omega, come to think of it :)

Only you can decide but, depending on your tank option and type of driving, you can pay back the outlay on a DIY kit in well under 10k miles, probably closer to 7k :y

To put it in perspective, I would say my outlay was £700 and I save 10p per mile (average). I have done over 50k since converting so have saved somewhere in the region of £5000 running it... That means, if you wanted to look at it in a positive view, that I'm in profit for the car  ::) I like big cars and this one doesn't owe me a penny at all... Not the purchase or the maintenance :y :y


You're right on all counts of course - I think I'll have a look at the LPG setups at the upcoming meet and most likely go for it at the start of next month :) I'm sure it'll pay itself back in no time given the price of petrol - in under a year, easily.

I may well have done but have had quite a few PM's tonight so may have lost them ::) ::)

I know you're eager to get on with it which is why I said I'll nudge him for you :y IME, a call between 0900 and 1100 normally gets hold of him :y

Right... Another update! Seeing as I'm sat at home twiddling my thumbs, bored to tears, I decided to do some research on tank suppliers and prices.

I have just got off the phone to the main UK tank importer and he's going to knock up a deal for us. Again, this will be kept "under wraps" but the details will be available through me. At the moment he's just pricing a 100L cylinder for me as a guide price, both in 4 hole and single hole variety as he does a multivalve that runs 400+bhp cars with no problems...

Watch this space for an update :y :y

Weren't the very high flow multivalves unreliable?

This guy is confident and the main importer for all things tank related :y

Incidentally, I'm pretty sure it's the same place Teilo tends to favour and it may be in our interest to cut out the middle man ;) ;)

Should know more tomorrow

Will the tank price be for entire back end, with filler, air tight box etc

So we buy front end from Teilo and rear from tank place and have a full kit, if you catch my drift ;)

I don't trust the messaging service :-X :-X :-X

He did say at the start of the week that he was probably going to have to go to Italy towards the end of the week to sort out the Vaporisers so he may actually be away ::)

If you've had no joy by Monday evening let me know and I'll chase him up ;)
