LPG Conversion.
« on: 01 February 2011, 03:56:45 »

I have had my Omega Elite 3ltr converted to LPG back in December 2010. The Company who did the conversion were Profess Autogas, they Only use AC STAG Conversion kits this Company being Polish, the Owner of the Company Andrew along with the Mechanics who install the kit are also Polish. I would fully reccomend this company, very pleased with the quality of the conversion also the price this being £1100. Before the Omega was converted on a full tank costing around £80 it would cover approx 340 miles that being mainly dual carriageway and Motorway with very little around Town, now I get approx 300-320 miles filling up with 75ltrs in the 85ltr tank fitted this cost just over £55 like I said earlier very pleased with the conversion I must also add that I did my homework before proceeding with this Company there are some Companys out the that will tell you that there conversion kit is the best and that  others are all cowboys!!! so that they get your hard earned cash. Hope that this helps should any Members be thinking of converting there Omega something I forgot! to add my insurance Company More than gave me a 10% discount once they recieved a copy of the conversion certificate.

Not really the place for such a recommendation, so will move to a chat area.

Glad you are happy with your conversion.

That said, one mans bread is another mans poison, and we have seen the occasional good, and some very poor installs here.

By any chance have any of the 'oof lpg crew' seen it?  be very interested in their opinions, and have you any pics of your engine bay so we can see an overview ourselves?

I must admit, this is somewhere Teilo has mentioned to me as producing good work. He said that they basically throw 3 blokes at it early am and work non-stop till it's done :o I still have slight concerns over whether they remove the manifold though :-*

I'd be interested in seeing you conversion Martin... Be an interesting comparison to the DIY conversions with the same kit :y

Lazydocker, LPG conversion garages here sometimes reach 60-70 vehicles/day (not cars as some of them are huge SUVs) and they have no chance to do the job in more than a day.. and most of the time, they do it with 1 person.. but they work until late night like 9 -10 pm.. and of course they drill the manifold in situ.. :(

Never heard of it. But chatting to my approved installer most inlet manifolds are plastic on newer cars theses days anyway.

I would like to see v6 manifolds drilled in situ, and still get the injector nozzles sited near the petrol injectors. Not a hope. Has to come off surely.

break nose. :-/ :D..........even with a plastic fanimold, I wouldnt have thought having a load of plastic swarf floating about in the engine is going to do it much good. :-/
Once it gets near the combustion chamber, surely it will melt and stick to things ?

Does not make sense, you have to take the plenum off anyway to drill & tap the injectors, why not spend literally the extra 5 mins and take the injector manifold off?

True, but when converting the V6 Omega its worth the 5 mins extra work!
