Is there a satellite delay in Hertfordshire? Same post 20 minutes apart?  Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue
Had- 2008 TDV8 Vogue SE in Java black
Had - 2007 S/C in Stornoway Grey

Not sure what happened there.

PC has a sticker "Lucas Inside", might be relevant?

i get about 12 mpg with my SC. havent got the balls to get mine converted. couldnt live with myself if anything went wrong plus i dont have faith in the 2 local converters near me. always seem to backtrack and imfo didnt seem to match up even tho they've converted SC's before.

cheers Ex FFRR 4.2 Supercharged

CG, did you get your car LPG'd in Scotland? I would hate to get it done and not have any local support should things need work.

SC same as yours.

Are you going back to EuroLPG again? Dropped in there a week or so back and think I have convinced myself that is who I will use.

Where was the compressor re-located to on your previous? Iby talked about a ct on the body cross member ahead of the location of the tank which allows the compressor to stay in its original housing?

Spoke to Arun autogas, who I would have used is they had been a bit more local. They have done more than a dozen Superchargeds, using the same twin reducer BRC system, so I guess that should give confidence it is the right system.

Looking forward to hearing how yours goes!

I like the detachable bit of the tow bar stored in the rhs cubbyhole, so that's out for me. Any reason to worry about the compressor being upside down?

Warranty direct sounds interesting, but thought I had read they have a less than optimal record when it comes to paying out?

Will do a bit of digging.

What Ibrahim discussed with you is how it was done before. He's happy to put the compressor in the RHS under the fuse box, that's what I'm wondering about. It was fine as it was before, except you have to have the compressor upside down for it to fit, which is not ideal for longevity of the compressor.

Yes I am using Euro LPG again. Did Arun auto gas recommend the BRC electronic lubrication system? I will anyway, it's a no brainer, but interesting to know what Arun said!

Now here's an interesting fact for you. I've purchased a warranty from Warranty Direct, and although they don't cover modifications (i.e. LPG conversions), they do cover damage to insured components consequential from uninsured parts, which means that in theory if an LPG conversion causes my engine to go pop, they'll repair/ replace it! That's what they're saying anyway, and for £40 per month I thought why not!

Cheers,

Yes Arun were recommending flash lube, either electronic or manual. It does seem that the early electronic system picked up a bad reputation for reliability, but has now improved significantly, and I think that is the way I will go.

Apologies for the tone of my first post, I misread your opener, and thought you were having second thoughts

David

i bought mine already converted to lpg/petrol and im over the moon with it apart from filling it up every 250 miles but in saves me money so cant be bad and when you fill it up and your looking at 77p litre it is even better and puts a smile on my face

No worries, Flashlube electronic lubrication systems did have a poor reputation for reliability, but I've not heard of any problems with the BRC electronic lubrication system, which I believe to be higher quality! Also you need the BRC one for the warranty on the BRC system to be valid, they don't like you using other people's products for obvious reasons. Range Rover-less at the moment - Pining!

I have been wondering is the bigger (102l ?) tank would fit? I think it is 30mm taller than the more usual 94 (ish) litre tank. The 94l tank fitted into the wheel well of a p38, and the well on a L322 just seems bigger.

Can anyone with a 94l tank comment if there appears to be any room over the top?

Not interested in lifting the boot floor, guess that is out.

Have you seen this compressor re-location bracket? Must use the same space that you were indicating. Not cheap, and need to check I have the wabco compressor, but might be a technically good solution, and presumably saves the installer a bit of cost and time in fabrication?

Why cant you get some smaller cylinder type tanks, as skinny as the underslung ones used on a fair few 4x4's and then just have about 5 of them width ways in the boot connected together to get the full use of the space? Not sure they make them that small but it cant be that hard and you could surely then break 110 of combined storage if not more?
