Omega General Help / Re: LPG tank
« on: 15 June 2010, 01:31:05 »
thanks for that kevin mate. i thought it should be ok like that, but looking at other cars pictures, they seem to make up brackets and drill to the top of the well and bridge them across, thats why i asked.
in between the tank and the wheel well, you're supposed to put some kind of anti chaffing material inbetween, correct? if so would one of those foam camping mats be ok to cut up or does it have to be a certain material?
cheers

Omega General Help / LPG tank

hi, i received my 4 hole toroidal tank today. it has securing lugs welded to the top aswell as the bottom.
if i drop the petrol tank, would securing through drilled holes in the wheel well only, using spreader plates suffice? or do you have to secure the top also?
cheers

Omega General Help / lpg vaporiser
« on: 11 June 2010, 20:23:44 »
Hi, began my lpg install, so far,
drilled and fitted manifold nozzles and hose,
mounted ecu and threaded the loom through,
soldered and mounted the switch,
soldered the ecu connections today.
Now im coming to fit the vaporiser and have a question, does the orientation that i mount it matter? the way i intend to do it is with the gas inlet/solenoid at the bottom and the outlets facing upwards. is this ok or is there a rule?
cheers

Omega General Help / LPG kit
« on: 04 May 2010, 01:09:28 »
Hi, i have an elite estate v6 which i intend to convert to lpg (diy). I have done a lot or reading up about it and now want to go ahead.
For the stag kit i read so much about on this site, how much would i be looking at for the front end kit and where is recommended to buy from?
cheers

Omega General Help / Re: Facelift Estate Measurement requests please
« on: 11 March 2010, 01:16:07 »
Hi guys, sorry to hijack. I have an eilte estate with towbar fitted which i intend to lpg convert within the next month or so. Im just gathering as much info as poss at the moment.
Im looking for advice on tank choice. I want a toroidal to save the luggage space and am looking at single hole tanks with the intention of mounting the filler on the towbar. if i were to get the centre filling tank, is it possible to drop the petrol tank and route the fill pipe in between the petrol tank and wheel well. i understand its quite a snug fit between the well and petrol tank.
what are my options here, am i able to knock the wheel well upward?
put something to space the gap either side of the pipe? what are the regulations i could be breaking here?
would the space available be sufficient for the breather hole in the centre?
I was then thinking of the full toroidal with the outer multivalve position with several holed fixings on the top. i cant seem to find bracketery on the net for these, what is the norm for securing them, just bend steel and make your own?
sorry for the long post.
cheers
andy

Newbie Welcome Area / Hi everyone! lpg q's
« on: 26 May 2010, 23:39:06 »
Hi, ive been lurking here for a while and decided to introduce myself.
My name is Andy, im 22 from Leicester and I have a 1999 (t) omega elite 2.5.v6 estate. I got it back in november and ran it for a while but couldnt afford the fuel for it so its sat on the drive since.
Any way i decided after reading on here that i'd do a gas conversion. Today i received a front end stag lpg kit from the guy Teilo from motogas and am now just after a tank and filler kit to get going. At the same time ive got new rocker gaskets to put on aswell.
So in the near future im going to fitting this lot and no doubt asking you lot a few q's on the fitting. Ive been reading up a lot on it and think im pretty clued up on the majority of it.
Ill try and get some pics up of the omega, its only done 70k so far and is in real good nick if a little dirty.
Any fire with the first question, in the box, he's included two connectors for the polyflex i think, no3 in this link. http://www.tinleytech.co.uk/acatalog/Poly_Pipe__Clips_and_Fittings.html
Cant work out where these would go, the vaporiser is supplied with the nuts and olive and i would think the tank would aswell. So what are these for?
cheers
Andy
