If you go 90 or 100l, you'll prob have to go 400mm, preventing the ability to put stuff through into cabin. The 80l size I have, the frame sits "right" making it an easy fit.

Thats what I want

Its win win really, my 2.2 in the summer did 27mpg on gas. Also in the summer my 3.2 did 27mpg, but on petrol 

So one cost 69p a litre to fill the other one cost £1.39

Guess which one gets the most use?

Just put your hand in your wallet, fill your car with petrol, use the boot, fill it with petrol, use it ....... it's only money

I do   

Unfortunately 'only money' seems to be a rapidly disappearing item in my wallet.

Yep, 80L 360 dia. (so 360 by about 900 if memory serves) is about the best size for the saloon, IMHO. Yes, you can squeeze a few more litres in, but it's the best compromise between usable space in the car and range. You can still poke long items through the back seats, and the space around it is great for absorbing all the sh1te that's normally floating around in the boot.

Should get 300 miles out of it in a 3.2 with your mimbling.

Well not having much luck outside eBay:

http://www.autogas-lpg.co.uk/content/4-about-us

Previous posted cheap place, has no contact number (put me straight off) and quite a few posts of very poor after service following some googling.

http://www.professautogas.co.uk/

This place were friendly, but only sell if I as approved installer  - No matter they wanted £480 for a kit. 

So that eBay kit looks like a good price now

The first link you posted is pretty much what I bought, but can't recall the price did send it you at the time though

[Lazydocker]

Both those companies linked to have "poor" reputations IMHO... But you don't need any support (as such) so that's not such a major issue

[tunnie]

Rang Tinley, very helpful as always. They said unless its serious power or a big turbo, single hole tank would be enough. 

But for standard 80L that most of you have, plus filler, "fast" filling pipe to tank, 6m poly, clipps, vent pipes, tank valve, tank sender, external filler would be £310 + vat + deliver   

Dropped to £220 if single hole tank used 

[TheBoy]

I have an arsehole lag on my MV6, which is single hole, but utilising a hi flow rate multivalve, rather than standard multivalve. Lag could be anything though.

If you stick with what we know works well on the Omega, you may avoid this, plus all the problems associated with being a trail blazer.  That said, you seem happy enough with the poor kit on your 2.2 

But for sake of £100 - or an extra 1000 miles payback

[Kevin Wood]

Yep, I'd go 4 hole every time. IMHO, the power output capabilities stated for most LPG kit (which is probably what Tinley go on) is purely theoretical verging on the fiction.

Go with what works, and is proven on the Omega.

Point taken   

Kit on my 2.2 though, works perfect for my needs. Its been faultless for what I want out of it

How is it, whenever I get in it, the bloody thing bleeps, stutters, and generally pisses around until it decides petrol is the answer?

Mind you, until you have connected the steering wheel to reality in that car, you don't want to drive too hard
