Mmm, my gauge on the tank also reads the wrong way round.Got me wondering now....... :-\

Is the tank cold (noticeably colder than ambient, especially below the fluid level) after a drive? That's the acid test.

I don't think you have the same problem Albs... I've done calibration runs in that car and would expect to have had issues with LPG pressure  :-X Plus, the range is about right for that size tank with 2 different people driving ;)

No harm in looking though

Yeh the range seems about right actually.200 miles from 60l tank, on a good day.Probably worrying over nothing.
Which reminds me,I havent looked at the filter yet. :-[

I'm quite confident that Guffer will get decent range out of his, but I would have thought any car with this issue would be dropping back to petrol at times (and suffering a lot of condensation or even ice on the tank).

Mineused to drop back to petrol, butthat was due to the coolant syatem being plumbed wrong.Pretty sure the tank doesnt ice up.
The whole front end really needs a good tidy up/ reinstall though.Its on my to do list - probably next spring at the present rate of going. ::)

that's nothing, I've seen an LPG ECU secured to the underneath of the wheel-arch (i.e. wheel-side) using no-more-nails before.
