This thread needed dusting down a tad I expect!!!

Your on-board computor will still give petrol MPG as it has been fooled into thinking you are running on petrol . Gas LPG is about 8-10% less than petrol due to the difference in Specific Gravity ..  so expect around 18 mpg on gas .. but as its about half the price of petrol ....  

[old git]

first run on mine thursday 50 miles around town and 220 from shrewsbury to mid wales and back.Returned about 23 to gall of Countrywide Gas @46p per ltr. Still bedding in shall check it on comp program again soon]


only go on top up value ie 55 ltrs The trip to wales was to visit two gas system retailers Have run senator and jeep on gas so know of false readings

Some very quickly taken piccies as requested ... I'm no David Bailey !!

Filler, looks OK, lines up nicely and is accessible at all times.



Filler from the inside



Tank, very neatly installed



Control switch - crap photo actually looks very neat



Engine bay overall



Left hand bank with pressure regulator, the "spare" plug is a pressure test connection for the diagnostic kit



Right hand bank



Filter



ECU, beside the pollen filter



Flash Lube kit



No pictures of the vaporiser I'm afraid .. its buried down behind/below the passenger side headlamp !! The vaporiser water pipes go right around the engine bay and connect by the HBV, but on the engine side not the heater side !!.

To my totally untrained eye, it all looks rather neat.... and it all seems to work !!

In my opinion, the filler neck should be down under the rear bumper on the opposide side of the tail exhaust pipe, since it does not seem original right next to the gas filler and it should not be good to drill the body as it seems badly. Sorry for not being agree with you...

As this thread's been dusted off

You have to think of practicalities... For someone more mature in years (as the OP will be before he gets rid of the car ) having the filler low down isn't always a good thing

Plus, the regulations here in the UK are probably more strict than they are in Turkey

Thank you for that young man !!

It is also imparticable to have one below the bumper/on the tow bar / etc etc as I often refuel with the caravan attached. Access / ease of use were a consideration.

Had to word it carefully

TBH, I wanted mine in a similar place for ease of refuelling too

I recently thought I was buying another LPG,d Mig, and the first thing I planned on sorting was moving the filler from down on the bumper up to the rear quarter beside the petrol filler.
The thought of faffing about down near the ground every time I fill up (especially on wet days when the bumper will be wet and filthy) seems ludicrous to me.

[tunnie]

Thats my filler location, picture taken when the car was a tad cleaner 

While its perfectly workable down there, there is a lot of flex in the bumper, so when hands are cold, tired and you in a hurry the bumper can move about it, also when its raining its not that great to be so low down.

I drilled the bumper, because I didn't want to drill body work. I think its best overall, not a real fan of number plate fillers, most times i fill up (Asda HighWycome) I have to park right up the arse of the car in front to get the filler to reach its current location.

I really like it located there, looks real neat and tidy!

[albitz]

It does, but its impractical.

[feeutfo]

Don't want the filler visible at all personally, and if it's going to be that low it may as well be behind the number plate, the nozzle will reach for the same parking position.

[russ0205]

If you have the filler low down won't it pick up all the muck from the rear wheel ? wouldn't bother me drilling the body if i was saving that much on fill ups.

[PhilRich]

I didn't consider putting mine anywhere else as this is the best place for it IMHO & drilling the panel is no big deal as long as you treat & repaint the bare metal properly afterwards. Also, I lightly 'keyed' my filler body & cap with a fine grade sandpaper & primed it with ' Plasticote' before  2 coats of base primer, 4 coats of finish & 2 coats of clear laquer & it's been done for 9 months now & is still as good as the day it was done with no sign of peeling etc.

[tunnie]

Only if your an old fart   

[albitz]

Or a young dude going for a night out in winter. your wearing an expensive long coat, you bend right down to attach the filler to the bumper and your nice coat drags in the wet dirty crap around the pump.........
