LPG

[TLC]

Who has had a LPG conversion from petrol? How much would it cost .Can you DIY and if so where can you get the kit from.:(

ther are a fair few kits on ebay,but going the diy route may cause problems with the insurance,my ulysse has lpg fitted and i had to send a copy of the fitting certificate to them,they also advized a yearly check and they want a copy of that,not sure if all insurance's are like that or just mine:banghead:

only problem i had was using a 4star head, had to change it for a unleaded head.

I understood that the final commisioning of an LPG system should be ALWAYS done by a quilified fitter although the rest of the installation can be done by a resonable DIYer.

Apart from the safety aspect without an official certification you can not benifit from the tax advantages of LPG i.e. no London congestion zone charge.

As with any modification you should inform your insurance company.
