Thanks Entwood,
Well you guys are selling it to me.
I have been running around for quite a while in my Delica which is really thirsty for a diesel but then i only bought that for towing a caravan and getting all our gear, bikes and gods in when we go away and for that it is great but for everyday transport it it far too expensive to run.
I have been quoted around £1200 for a BRC system, is this a good price, what have people on here paid for theirs?


That is cheap for a BRC .. unless prices have dropped a lot !!!  I had a professionally installed BRC Sequent 56 system with an 80 ltr 4 hole tank (64 ltrs LPG) done 3 years ago .. with VAT it was a shade under £2200 .. (vat was only 17.5% then as well)

Took them 4 days (price included a courtesy car) and they DID remove the inlet manifold to do the job.

And is, incidentally, the first and only "Professional" installation I have seen on an Omega which is up to a good standard... And I've seen a few now ;) ;)

Whatever it is... I didn't do it

Well guys thanks for all the replies, I am thinking that if well maintained I could get up to 25 maybe on a run to working being that it is all motorway. Am wondering if possible to do a DIY as pretty handy with spanners. Can anyone recommend a good kit and supplier??

Several DIY conversions done .. there's even a "how to" in the guides ... :)

There are also several threads running at the moment as it looks like TB is about to step back into LPG territory .. :)

If you pop over to the Essex meet you could have a look at some of those DIY conversions, and have a chat with people who have done it. I think Lazytinker is going, and he is very knowledgeable on LPG matters, and always willing to discuss/ advise etc. :y
