ive just fitted a prins system to the mv6, it is fitted behind the drivers bumper and was also in same location on doner car, really high up against chassis rail, keeps engine bay from getting cluttered and a very tidy way forward, on the elite it also has a prins and this one is beside air box and a pita when comes to working on it

Were they certified  strikes me as being a bit vulnerable there... where do the gas lines run?

do you mean mine mate? zavoli guy checked whole system for me-used to service it too-but he moved now--if you know anywhere near me---let me know

[05omegav6]

No mate , meant the cars with it mounted in front of the wheel, behind the bumper. Would have thought any where in the crumple zone (especially outside the chassis rails) would have been a big no no Not to mention running the gas lines round the entire front suspension... it's bad enough not being able to run them behind the wheel arch liner past the vapour canister

oh you frightened me there for a minute or three----but under bumper----thats mental-surely not good---in a bump could split gas feed-ooh dont like the  thought of driving a car that could be seriously dangerous 

[05omegav6]

Hence my question (and yesterdays little discussion...)

[symes]

Honestly mate--leave common sense in its box eh----even i figured out that under bumper is mental-----and i know square root of zero about lpg----though leant a bit on here especially that info in maintenance section----pity people dont look there first eh----the amount of times a question asked----and info sitting there for them--if they could be asked to look

I'm guessing this is aimed at me. Fair point. I planned to refit the system as I had removed from donor car. Ignorance on my part. Now better informed

no mate---loads on here never ever read or check through guides-if they did -they would save themselves a lot of lost time/aggro----you know---start thread---wait---etc---really bugs me--ok if someone cant find what they want--as in your case-valid----you want safety with lpg---so fair enough mate--check some threads--anywhere--see what i mean

and yes were certified to be there on my car too, gas pipe is run through a hole in inner wing along the pipework there and then down to floor rails, got to crumple a long way to hit it

and a fair bit of metal around unit too eh

By way of update, removed the mounting bracket for the heater and moved the assembly out of the way, providing sufficient room for the vap. I did get a little carried away as the airbox was already removed, and you forget how much space it takes up. Anyway, think I have it in a suitable position and will trial fit tomorrow so I can start to measure out the pipe work, etc.

In relation to the heater unit, is it worth keeping? There may still be room for it in a slightly different position. And without examining too closely, I couldn't decide if the two pipes (one from bulkhead, and other from hbv) are the same size. That would be handy!

[chrisgixer]

Same size pipes.

Remove it completely. It does very little.

[jonny2112]

Cool, thanks mate.
That means I can chop the one from the bulkhead and attach to the hbv.

pipes go  from engine to vap inlet then to hbv inlet--hope that helps

[jonny2112]

Sorry, I mean when I remove the heater pump. Rather than have to join the two pipes together, I can use part of one 

pipes go  from engine to vap inlet then to hbv inlet--hope that helps

And yes it does, thanks
