I have a feeling I may have asked this before. If so sorry but.....
Where can I find a good manual to download to help me refit my LPG conversion ensuring it meets the relevant standard?

Try the LPGA website. Failing that, give me your email address and I'll see what I can do.
Basically, it comes down to the system having no leaks, keeping the fuel line clear of moving parts (I tend to put them next to the petrol lines) and securing the line with P clips every 12".

Thanks does the filler have to be externally mounted? (Mine is inside the boot)

You sound a bit like a man who can!! Can you or do you know someone who could fit a kit for me to my E240 for a less than suicidal price??? I would do it myself but I don't know if I dare! |

The filler *must* be external as the gas from the tank vents to it in the case of gas expansion (due to heat etc.)

You'll need a safety certificate as well with most insurers .

**Disclaimer.. I may be incorrect. This is just my internet knowledge**
From what I can make out, The Rules basically state that an LPG installation must be to LPGA standards. The easiest way to do this is to get an LPGA approved installer to do the installation and issue a certificate putting their name against it. There don't appear to be any specific rules against DIY installation, or any legal requirement for a certificate to be issued, HOWEVER, most insurers will insist on the installation/inspection certificate. Most LPG installers will inspect and issue a certificate for a relatively small fee.

My current insurer didn't ask for/need a certificate but as I'm rebuilding the car I would like it all done properly.

I'm installing a kit on one of mine and the kit supplier will check the installation for me and complete a certificate for £25. |
