LPG KIT WANTED - still looking
- Thread starter Pilkie

Hi Pilkie
I'd say the chances of finding one of these 2nd hand is very small - they are too desirable in themselves and when fitted to a vehicle it tends to make people hang on to the vehicle instead of scrapping it! Still you could try setting up a search in Ebay, try "LPG, V8" across the whole of the motoring section.
When I did that search it yielded RPi V8 LPG Kit You wouldn't be able to get a 120ltr tank in - mine are very full with a 65ltr - so that would make it a bit cheaper - but note you also need an ignition module to retard the ignition (by 7 degrees) when you are on gas - which would make it a bit more expensive. So the price quoted is probably pretty close to reality. Don't forget you might spend a bit of time and effort sorting out somewhere to mount the filler. I've got a dummy filler on the offside in the rear decker so that it looks like it's got twin tanks, a la Jag; but that was a pretty involved mod needing significant work to the base unit as well as the decker.
Hope that helps.
Chris

Pitty you aren't located closer to Australia! Both of my rovers are converted to gas (well dual fuel). Only rebuilding one.. the other is in the spare parts donor car.
