looking at this picture , I cant guess how will be an lpg installation and other parts of the car..
 
quality comes at a cost.. complexity.. 

[Nick W]

Ah, German engineering. Easily recognisable from the sheer complexity of it!

Would you mind giving us a shout when they next meet? I wouldn't mind tagging along, if they allow us chavy omega owners anywhere near of course.

They will consider you one of the "Saxo" lot with your chavtastic mods

I make that four chains, all at the back of the engine

It's a diesel. while it's possible to LPG I diesel, nobody ever seems to due to minimal payback. Although, if it was a petrol, why would lpg be difficult to install?

I have a base ball cap somewhere, it even fits I think. Rrrraviniiiit

Although... I do believe Mr pscocoa has very similars refinements on his omega.

If you are referring to factory fitted irmscher mods some 12 years ago almost then I stand guilty...

...quite so my dear fellow. Quite so.

 Makes for a far far superior Elite, IMO.

I know.. and its only 6 cylinder version.. I know lots of "famous competent" lpg shops doing 100 cars daily.. and the number of cars they mess up even with 4 pots .. 
 
those are not usual cars that you can take help from mechanic friends anytime..  not later, sooner murphy rules will be on the job..

'gor blimey! What do you do when those chains get noisy?  Sell it quick, I guess.

Think I'll stick with myY32SE, thanks.

Yeah, we have "competent" LPG fitters here too, of course. Don't touch them with a bargepole.

However complex an engine looks, it works on simple principles that have been with us for over 100 years. If you can't fit an LPG conversion without wrecking something you're probably best employed somewhere else.

I do suspect the petrol ecu will be fussy. But while BMW are fussy due to tight parameters, vag seem fussy due to odd parameters from what I've seen on Polo golf passat and Audi a4.

But then this is a class apart from those cars.

...and I'm suprised to see a balancer shaft on a v6

Tolerances get tighter to meet ever more strict emissions regs.

You just need a more accurate LPG system to go with it, and to set it up accurately rather than run the auto calibration and get it out the door, as most "professionals" no doubt do.

It is a tractor, remember.
