What system did you have fitted and how much if you don't mind me asking. Seen lots of nice V8s for sale for good prices inc the one on here in France but was wondering whether to buy another already converted or get one to convert. |

My new baby goes into A-Z on Monday, I already run a 5 litre merc on LPG and will never get bored of �25 for 200 miles with a lead foot. Warren only uses BRC which I have on Merc and trust implicitly. Over the phone sounded like he knew the sc engine and it's LPG problems. Only problem now is finding a hiding place for filler.

Since the license plate is not an option for hiding the filler, I suggest underneath the rear bumper. I drove a lot of LPG cars over time and with a good cover underneath the car is fine. Do make sure it is far enough up that with offroading you don't have an issue. MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!

Mine's at the back under the bumper, but the problem is when you fill up, it looks like you're trying to squirt it back up the exhaust pipe... Tym

Here's mine. Warren at A-Z did a cracking job and you can hardly see it when the cap is on, its the black square box to the left of the exhaust. Easy to get to with the pump and high enough not to get caught when I take it off road. Getting 244 miles to 75 litres of lpg on motorway at average speed of 75mph and average price of 65p a litre so very happy given the car's weight and power. In a recent trip to Dundee from London found a place called The Gas Station in South Birmingham selling lpg for 55p a litre ![]() Off to Brittany in July for a week so actively hunting lpg stations off the French Motorways near where I will be staying.

That is very neat and tidy. There were a few things that put me off going LPG with mine and one was they wanted to put a huge great filling valve on the side if the car. |

Yes. I also think the same thing whenever I read the "decided to drive to France/Spain/Portugal/LeMans for the weekend" threads. ![]() |

The Merc is a 99 SL500 with a BRC conversion, same as the FFRR, difference is the SL is a lot lighter so gets much better mpg Current:
