71.9p is rediculous, it was about 20p when it first came out wasn't it? if it was 20p now then yes fair enough i'd do the conversion no questions asked but at 60/70p whats the point.
 
To true, thats why my everyday car is a diesel Clio!! LOL Rangie is a weekend toy.(and thats why the battery goes flat!!) What great cars, cant afford to run them, but if you dont they dont start!!!

I came back to this post to ask : who has the twin tank setup from RPI or others?

Looks like you have. Any photos of the install.
I'd like to do it but do not want to pay outrageous prices for some brackets

Cheers

It's a custom system by some company down south in my L322. The last owner wanted a range of 320 on gas, hence the big tanks.

It works out at 26mpg ish.
 
Its the same old story in this great country of ours, as soon as anything becomes popular they rip the arse out of it.
At first it was the cost of conversion to include in your figures, now the price at the pumps is getting high (for LPG) you will have to include the cost of having an LPG tank buried in your garden and buy it in bulk yourself. You might just break even in about 15 years by which time LPG will be dearer than Derv!!!
If all Rangie (and other gas guzzler drivers) dumped their motors tomorrow for hybrids the price of petrol would double overnight as the government tried to make up the short fall in revenue. Enviromentally friendly my arse. Rip off britain at its very best!!
 
I have a single point system that i bought 2nd hand, but never fitter, when i got my previous motor. A 4.0 jeep cherokee. I have a 70l tank, 6 cylinder controller, snd sll the pipework etc. is a single point ok on the 4l v8's? I dont use my car that often, hence the engines, but I have the kit, and if it easy enough to chuck in, the electronic bits are available, and tank for spare wheel well available may consider doing it. Also there used to be a place in Broadstairs here in sunny Kent that sells natural gas conversions for over seas vehicles. May go see if they are still in business

Thank you very much. Any photos of your L322 tank setup for the day i want to upgrade.
Any info about that company?
 
Its a BRC system. Large tank in the spare wheel well and a smaller cylinder in the boot its self. Both tanks are Stako tanks.

It was fitted in 2004 by a company in Durham that seems to be defunct now.

theres something wrong there..unless you driving it like its stolen??

mine did that last week..did 2 loads of gas before i decided to sort it...was just the ecu had lost its programme..(no idea why)got the software out,did the calibrate and now its back to normal..ie 17mpg on gas in town driving it like its a hire car (but not stolen)..

you might want to try that unless its that bad on petrol tooooooo.

Update on this and the news is no better. Did a straight run to Derby and back (from Manchester), no hanging about or getting stuck in traffic, nice steady 60mph and the trip computer said 24.4mpg so driving it nice.
Reality was, I got back and refilled. Over 179miles it had used 56.6 litres which equates to 14.66mpg. That was on a run and being nice to it!!!!!

Which ecu fixed yours? If its the LPG system that needed calibrating, maybe I should point out that mine is a single point system and I'm not sure if your fix would be applicable to mine.

PS, haven't got a clue what it does on petrol as I let it switch over to gas as soon as its ready, petrol costs too much lol.
 
My single point system does same figures. In city driving only i only get 10mpg. On fuel i get 17 mpg on highway and 14 in city.

I drive it like if it's stolen. ;) or like if i'd like to make the stainless exhaust sing

I'm upgrading my front end kit to BRC Sequential Injection

ahh..single point...toooooooooo crude..go sequential...

though you may just have it set up to eat too much gas...??
 
Sounds that way doesn't it. The big brass knob needs turning down a touch I think lol.

996, I wasn't driving it like it was stolen which is why I imagine it needs a bit of setup, I would expect more than 14 mpg taking it easy and being light on the throttle on a run with constant speed. I think my average speed over the 179 miles was about 44.

I think I know someone who has a sequential front end but drilling the manifold sounds to be a bit of an arse. I'd rather stick pins in my eyes than take it off again (owned the car just over 2 months, inlet manifold been off about 6 times!!!!!) A job I'd rather avoid for now lol.
