Given all the information I have collected over the past few weeks, the valuable comments made tonight, and the important fact that he is rated highly by KW, methinks I'll be phoning Patrick tomorrow - got a couple more questions for him - but he's looking favourite right now...

ive fitted two of these systems,i fitted a omvl to "bumblebee"(works great) and also a u-fit lpg system as fitted to maries omega to a v8 sts caddy and that works bl++dy great.i would recommend u-fit lpg kit anytime

i agree i cant tell the difference between petrol or gas buy the price and which tank is emptying.

we had to pull over and listen hard to figure out whether we were on gas or petrol.

the u-fig guys have said to me that they will do a fitting report for the insruance too. which is great. for the certificate he said i might have to part with a few more pennies.

OMVL - I hope you have a filter as those injectors aren't the most reliable

[caddyman]

two filters in fact!!

Better safe than sorry!

Those blocks are not cheap - but I have been told get new ones from Poland - they are cheaper.

not wishing to hijack your thread but how did your ac problems go?

Badly ...  Not got the car back yet ... seems they had major problems changing the "expansion valve" and the flush has taken longer than anticipated. The guy said the compressor, when removed, they poured a mixture of gunge and metal bits out. Supposed to be finished tomorrow.

I feel a rather large bill approaching at fairly high speed...

all the more reason to diy your lpg and level the wallet a bit

Totally accepted, however it does not change any of the arguments above... I just wish it did ..

The lakes meet is for socialising and a little tinkering. Despite having spent practically the whole weekend in a garage it felt like we didn't do any socialising by the time we'd finished. And it's just NOT the type of job you can do in a grassy field.

Kevin

That was my fault   sorry

Not at all. Just full of random nuts, bolts and bits of metal that would "come in handy" sometime. And they did.

the u-fig guys have said to me that they will do a fitting report for the insruance too. which is great. for the certificate he said i might have to part with a few more pennies.

Which insurance company are you with? And did they ask for a certificate?

I should stress that James and I only popped in there and had a chat with him so not enough to form an accurate opinion, but he was talking sense. No bull about drilling manifolds on the engine and the like. He did say he normally tries to persuade people not to DIY LPG V6 Omegas and wished us luck.

I'd still want to be seeing some of his work first, personally.

Giving himself a week to do the job will mean that he won't be rushing it. The kit he was fitting looked top notch, and he said for a professional install he wants people not to come back so he uses what he finds to be most reliable!

That they did. still cant figure out where James put the bolt for the fuel tank.

the insurance didnt ask for one. but i was just thinkin it might be a good idea just incase .

[Kevin Wood]

Found that. It was in his toolbox, which he forgot to take with him.

Absolutely. For peace of mind and in case it's required at a later date.
Another thing occurred to me, BTW. When we were mapping the LPG the vapour pressure was a little lower than I expected. It was down at 0.8-0.9 Bar and I had a feeling that kit was supposed to run at 1 Bar. Might be worth asking Jeremy if that's Ok of if it needs adjusting.

Kevin

[Marie]

Just got of the phone to jeremy. your right it should be 1.1 bar, i have to remove the red label of the tank value and turn it inwards 1/4 of a turn while its pluged in to the computer.

As or the amount of gas that went in the tank hes said to fill her a couple of times and let the system settle and if i am still short on fillin to take the car to him and he will sort the tank value for me as you have to take it back off in a special way after it has been filled with gas due to the pressure. if i try and do i and get it wrong i could seriously hurt myself.

[Kevin Wood]

Hi Marie,

OK. It will probably need to have the map tweaked when the pressure has been adjusted. The adjustment is under a red cap on the evaporator. I remember seeing it.

The tank will be pressurised now so I guess it needs to be purged of LPG before taking the multivalve off!
