Pete, your contact in Wales can do the whole job for about £1,000 including certification and a 2 year warranty?

For the extra £200, which is less than 4 tanks of petrol, this sounds like a very good price. Are you still going to go down this route? If so, I would be very interested to find out how it goes. We are just too far from civilisation for me to attempt a diy without plenty of help.

Keep us posted on how you go.

Hi Martin

I hope to get mine converted as soon as I replace my dis pack, plug leads and plugs so hopefully before Christmas

I am also watching this with great interest .. if EP is happy with his installation then thats the way i'm going to go .. the DIY route is just too scary for me ..

when i had my spare wheel tank installed,i ran the pipes out of the n/s wing under the bumper line and around the rear of the car and then down the o/s of the car.no shielding required

[sassanach]

you can change the rear cluster bulbs by removing the light unit complete, fiddly but do-able

What do breakdown people say about no spare wheel?

I've been through this with kit cars. Basically, if your car is designed to carry a spare and you don't have one, you're in trouble.

You could argue that, after the LPG conversion, your car is not. My feeling is that the spare will be chucked in the boot anyway, except for the occasions when I need every inch of boot space.

I had a puncture in the Veccy once and i wasnt carrying a spare.....RAC did ask why i didnt have a spare.....but were fine about it once i explained there was a LPG tank where the spare should be.....and after a wait.. a low loader turned up to take me to a tyre fitters

Same here, when I had a blow out, in the Veccy

When is the 'bulk' purchase taking place? If it's say the end of January then I could be tempted.....

[Kevin Wood]

I need to speak to the guy and find out what the score is. I am not sure whether he expects the whole lot in one order or whether it's a case of "mention OOF when you order and get a discount".

My preference would be to get things moving quite soon but I'm sure we can accommodate everyone, perhaps by ordering in two "phases" if individual orders are not possible.

I'm interested in converting, but I have most of the bits already, so not really in the market for bits from this chap. Its a shame you can't modify the gas contents sensor on a horizontal toroidal tank to use it vertically. A new Vert tank is about £400, a 2nd hand horiz tank about £50.

[Kevin Wood]

This guy was talking about 300 for a vert. toridal tank rear end kit so presumably including the valve. I'll ask the question.

How much would a front end kit be for a V8 out of curiosity Presumably there is very little difference other than the extra 2 injectors and some additions to the loom. Assuming of course the ECU can handle 8 injectors.

Usually just two new injectors

The ECU can indeed handle 8 injectors. I believe the vapouriser will handle up to 300 BHP so you ought to be OK there so yes, it is in theory just a matter of injector valves and a loom with the extra injector wiring. I believe I have seen him selling 8 cylinder kits on EBay.

There's one from him here but it looks like a mixer:

Hi,

I'd be interested in popping along to the LPG party.  I'd be able to lend a hand and make lots of tea!

I could also get my dad to knock uo a few bespoke injector brackets as shown in the pic.  He would want his palms crossing with silver though!

PM me if anyone is interested.

Cheers
M

Kevin - these injectors look frightiningly familiar, albeit a different colour!

i thought that when i saw them.

those brackets do look the business
