And what's the maximum length of hose allowed from injector block to manifold nozels?
I thought it was the shorter the better?

It is IMO, although AFAIK the main requirement is for all of them to be the same length. You can make them different lengths but have to fiddle with the setup to confuse the ECU and it just adds another potential pitfall.

As far as I'm concerned, we now have a setup that works and I wouldn't advise changing that setup ;) :y

Yeah, just thinking aloud tbh, as I still have mine to do obviously, also there's a balance to be had of ease of instal, and bothering ones arse.
 Might get the loom out later and look at stuff* for position, rather than effect, I don't fully understand all that set up business yet anyway tbh.

* and probably come up with the exact same as the last install. :-/ ;D

Which is tried and tested and works ;) ;)

I like the idea of changing the loom as on TBE and may well go down that route if/when I do another one... But the loom work will be done in advance :y

Surely you'd just sub the loom building out to your regular loom builder, Chris? (Unless he's stopped talking to you after the telematics loom) ;D
Think I might have over stayed my welcome there. :-/   ;D

Happy to build up looms as required  :y

Besides, I'm watching this thread with interest as need to think about LPGing my 3.2

Well if your sure... ;)  not certain fitting two sets of rear bushes covers all that agro, maybe some beer as well, and a fruit based drink for the lady?

Anyway back on track, went to Tinley Tech today to try a 70 litre donut (collective sigh) in my upright saloon wheel well. Nope doesn't fit. Trouble is I reckon it could be made to fit(by hammering in the back of the well, and removing a section of upright) but it's a gamble.... The top hits the boot opening and won't tip in, plus this one has mounting points at the bottom to further complicate things. Arse!

Had to remove the Bose shelf in the car park so the back of the car is in bits ATM  ;D not to mention it's(tank) bloody single hole. :'(

Just go down the tried and tested, 80L, 4-hole Cylinder tank ;) ;) :y :y

I might have to pop over to Tinley to try out a Toroidal tank too, except mile will be a 4-hole version ;) :-X :-X :-X

I used proper speaker wire from craplin, seem to recall 6m was way too much, but what the heck ;D

If you're bored or want a hand, I'm around all day tomorrow
