    Totally agree with how the fuel input is calculated, then used to get mpg. Lpg systems run independantly of engine ecu's, in fact they piggy back them and sense the signals the petrol ecu send to the petrol injetors to control the lpg injectors. So the ecu never stops calculating the mpg and...

    What mpg do you get at 70 mph cruise on

    Now I remember from years back that mpg calcs on fuel injected motors where made using fuel used in injectors, and miles travelled (why it needs time to calc).

    Put the tank back last night, no leaks at all. New lines and pump came from bearmach. I forgot about the fittings for the pump. You only get two pipes comming off the pump that need an olive and a nut for connection to the hose end. I ended up getting them from a local hydraulic supplier...

    Petrol Tank Repair/Fuel pump & pipes Replacement

    I had a look on eBay, first place I looked. Most of them looked well knackered with bits hanging of them. I am looking at doing a plastic weld type repair before anything else now after researching it. But as you say I want it to be permanently fixed. I am going to fill the tank with water...
