The LPG "certificate" for my car doesnt really look like the example Ive seen which is apparently needed for the LPG register.
Does anyone know if the one I have will be ok ?

I think you have to contact the original tester/fitter and they should be able to add it to the register for free.

AFAIK, all the old certs are now not really valid, as its the database that is used?

The PDF you link to is an example of the "old" certificate before UKLPG got there mucky fingers in the pie.

There is now no such thing as an "LPG Certificate" .. you are either on the "register" or you are not.

What you now have is a certificate of compliance that you can submit to UKLPG with a request to be included on the register.

DriveLPG and UKLPG are one and the same I believe...

Perhaps I didnt word my original question properly.I want to put my car on the LPG register.From reading the info on the site I believe I have to send them my old certificate and then they will add my car to the register.
My query is that the "certificate" I have doesnt look anything like (or have much of the info included) the one shown as an example on the site.So Im not sure if they will accept it and add my car to the register.

AFAIK, you should be able to get the original installer to do this. TBH, they should have already.

Contact the fitter... If he can't/won't do it then go down the other route but make sure you copy that inspection cert before sending it

i had same problem with mine other week, first time that insurance had queried it not on register, i took it to the origianal fitters and to put on the lpg database they charged 20 quid,this was just for the registration onto site but i think it more for his time, was lot cheaper then going to another garage and being charged anythink up to 100 quid for a full compliance check

Thanks for the advice chaps.Will contact original installer ,although Im not taking it back for them to inspect it as they are incompetent and too far away.If they wont add it to the register for me,then I will copy my certificate and send off the original and hope for the best.

I have a certificate for mine, but I don't think it's on a database.    Should it be? What are the advantages/disadvantages? 

[feeutfo]

yes it should, installers are supposed to update thier records. phone up your instasller/inspector and ask them why they havent done it.

[feeutfo]

disadvasntages are, if its not on the database if you try to change insurers they wont insure the car if you tell them it has lpg fitted.

[Sir Tigger KC]

I've never had a problem with insurance so it must be OK! Thanks!! 

[albitz]

I have been studying all the comparison sites recently trying to get the best deal.Its been hellishly complicated because I want to insure two cars and one of them has LPG.I have had to ring round all the possible companies and try to find out their criteria for insuring an LPG car.If I get it on the register at least I know I wont be turned down and it removes one of the complicating factors from the process.
It would be simpler to renew with Aviva but it looks like Im going to save a fair bit of wedge by moving.

Be aware, in the event of a claim, not being on the official register is an easy way out for them...

UKLPG are incompitent, and fitters even more so, but all fitters should have updated the register FOC from their historic records.
