Today I dragged Maria around shopping a bit. Found an Autogas place in Newport, picked up a few LPG bits and peices - Olives and unions.

Also stopped by the VX stealer and picked up some spark plugs, new sump pan, and some other bits.

Stopped at B&Q, picked up a hole saw.

Then out came the tools. First job, was to find a good place in the bumper for the filler. I chose quite low down, drivers side, near the back. It was the only place I could get the pipework in behind it.

So, first job was to drill a big gaping hole in my bumper! A little daunting, but was easy enough.

Then I fitted the filler (swine) and plumbed it into the tank.

After that, went along to BP, for the first attempt at filling with LPG. Connected up the gun, so far so good. Pressed in the button... and...... ahhhhhhh....  a lovely sound, she started filling with gas.

at 44p/litre, The tank took just under 68 litres, which cost me £30    8-)

Flicked back onto LPG, and the injectors fired in again. Ran absolutely fine back to Maria's.

So, new spark plugs are to go in tomorrow, and hopefully it'll be job done

Oh, only one more thing, I need to adjust settings for the sender, because it was showing 3 lights when it ran out. But that's a 5 min job

Modern diesel cars are fantastic. I couldn't lose a golf TDI today, right up to 90.

Fitting the switch is alway a worrying job, but then you don't take the kit back out

The led fuel gauges are pretty crap tbh James......but three leds on is a bit too far out.

Mine usually does put the red led on before running out.....

Tho how i measure distance left is, i use the trip milometer......i know i can go 125miles about town or 200 on a motorway run.....
