Title: What size LPG pipe to use ?
Post by: Ken T on 10 November 2011, 20:44:39

I am just compiling a shopping list of bits to finish my LPG instal, and have a query. My Reducer is a V-SGI with an 8mm inlet, the tank I was looking at has a Tomassete multivalve with an 8mm inlet and 6mm outlet. What is the best pipe to use for the main run, 6mm or 8mm ?.

If this is for a V6 then you really need 8mm feed pipe to make sure you can get sufficient fuel through ;)

Which means you need a 8mm feed on the multivalve too

Thanks Paul,
looks like I got to do more research into which multivalve to get. They don't seem to publish inlet /outlet sizes for these, so I'll have to call Tinley in the morning and see if he got any.

Its only a small V6  ;D ;D ;D

You might get away with 6mm but I wouldn't want to risk it ;)

ISTR That Tomassetto ones have an 8mm outlet :-\ :-\

I called Tinley today and that's what  he said, maybe cause I hadn't specified the tank size I was after he gave a small one.

I want to get this install finished asap, fed up putting in a fortune in petrol every week. :-X Got any cheap petrol ?.  ;D ;D ;D
