UPDATE.
Tried contacting the original installer,London Petroleum gas co.ltd, but it quickly became clear that they were no longer trading.Google shows that it was due to the fact he was a cowboy who destroyed a bloke Jaguar.The bloke got his teeth into him and after a year got him to court and was awarded damages for the ruination of his beloved car.The response was to close the company and carried on regardless in the name of his other company - Sovereign Classics,who restore Jaguars and fit LPG systems.

Google also shows that Sovereign classics have now stopped trading.Something to do with failing to file any accounts iirc.

I contacted the LPG register today and they were brilliant.They said he was a registered installer at the time my car was converted and if I posted the paperwork to them they should be able to add my car to the register,although it may take longer than usual due to Christmas holidays etc.
I emailed them a thankyou and attache the pic of the certificate he issued.They replied an hour later to say that they had added the car to the register.I cehcked,and sure enough its on there.

That IS good news Albs!

Even though Ive always considered the register to be a bit of a con and a waste of time,I was very impressed with the speed of their response and complete lack of BS or broken promises,which seems to be the norm wqhen dealing with any organisation these days.

UPDATE.

...added the car to the register.I cehcked,and sure enough its on there.

Good result but this just goes to show how worthless the register is, it would be better used in conjunction with the M.O.T. database so that examiners could scrutinize the lpg installation every tear...

mot testers struggle with the basics sometimes, never mind adding LPG.

Training would be prohibitive, given the number of gas cars on the road.


The main issue IME, is insurers, they simply are not up to speed on the process. They still look for a certificate, if they are even close to being up to speed, and don't recognise the on line register(generally speaking) there by relying on the customer to explain it to them, and all the frustration that goes with that conversation can be infuriating, to say the least.

Fuel system is already part of the MOT. LPG installation becomes part of the fuel system upon installation.

A car would fail an MOT if part of the LPG system was leaking fuel, insecure or visually degraded.

... But the MOT rightly focuses on the condition of the notifiable parts of a car, not on the conformance of its' installation, so whether the car is on the register or not is irrelevant. If the parts exist on the car they are part of the test.

Although its nice to hear a good experience with them in Albs case.
