Here you go Jay W

As you can see on my photos the cap to access the fuel pump has been left so access can be gained what they did was leave out the screw on the back hole as you would never get a screw driver in.

Has anyone got a copy of the rules 'n' regs for LPG installation? It'd be nice to view them before I kick anything off...

PM Sent. Martin posted the rules a while ago and, whilst I can't find the post now, I've got it all in a text file so anyone interested - PM me your email address and I'll get a copy off to you.

Not sure I like the idea of the gas pipes going down the back of the tank, seems like it would make routing a little awkward...

On the donor car, they were just in front of the tank (towards the rear) on the drivers side

I prefere them going over the back for peace of mind i know the copper pipes are never going to get bashed bent or snapped by shopping or a tool box, i should of really put tool box first  ;D

I guess it would be alittle harder to route but makes no odds to me as its already in :)

True, good points there. I'm just not sure there's room behind my tank for them now...

Do you think this is a good kit? I can afford one now (Can also afford better, EG Romano)... but this one is looking OK..

I've been wondering where and how to mount those :-/

Drilling and tapping the side of the plenum is the best I can think of. That will only work on a 2.6 / 3.2 due to lack of IACV and EGR.

Any ideas?

I've been reading the book on the ECU and it looks pretty good. Does everything I'd want it to, I think. But then I'm new to all this.

i've got no reason to believe it isnt a good kit, all the stuff is well made, it comes complete and so far the only issue i have had has been with the tank mounting kit.....

i ummed and ahhed about this when i bought it, my thoughs were 'why is so much cheaper than the other kits' the only answer i can come up with it that it isn't a branded kit and so it cannot command the premuim.

it comes with the same guarantee, it does the same job and on face value looks to be more complete than some of the dearer kits (some of them you have to buy the diagnostic leads as an extra and the s/ware)

For some strange reason i had another 6 cyl front end kit arrive at the house yesterday  :o today i got a phone call asking if i had seen it, initially i was playing it cool and making out i wasnt too sure until the company confirmed that they has a signature and that my tank mount kit would be with me tuesday, there had been a shipping error and i had received someone elses kit.

That's the next job, get the injectors mounted, fit the new inlet with the gas nozzels tapped into it and then start on the electrics
I have made a few brackets for the injectors and will be playing round with it on the weekend, i will get some pics up.

biggest issue is still the ECU, it is massive and i am worried about it getting wet, but where the hell can i put it and it still remain accessable?

Don't suppose there's room for the ECU under the scuttle in the power sounder type area? Have a feeling I saw some space there. It's pretty tight everywhere else in that engine bay.

How long is the loom provided with it? Will it reach into the cabin?

it does look fairly weatherproof. :-/
