I hope you dont mind me adding my 2 pennth But  its not that simply
NOW IV DONE THIS to my perral 1 if the gas tanks are over 10 years old buy law they have to be certified not just safty checked so make shure they are as new as you can get and no corosion as they will fail the safty check
the next thing its hard to find a company that will safty cert what they have not fitted and supplied
your truck will need seting up and a sniff test
the next thing is if you dont have a safty cert some insurence companys wont insure you (but zurik do) and it makes no difference with them
and if you can plumb you  :Dfit a gas kit the best of lock as I found it realy easy and my skills are very basic :D just remember if in dought ask glad to help if I can If not I a friend in the auto lpg trade who is willing to help :wink:

I thought that 5 years back  ;) it was @27p/litre then  :shock: :shock:

As for road tax you will save the grand sum of 'nowt' unless your car is 2001 or newer  :'( :'(
just lower running costs  :lol: :lol:

The tanks have a manufacture/ test date and you can buy a new one for less than the retest.

I fitted my own and have had no bother with insurance. 

If you can think logically, use a spanner and do a bit of wiring you will be ok.
If you want in certified there are people who will do it for £50-£75

I'm all for doing what you can if you can
But:
I would think very very hard about spending too much on a car for sentimental reasons. Its a horrible thing to have to accept but they just don't last forever.

That said if anybody ever sees 73 BAY on a  2A let me know!

I always say the value of a verchal is in the eye of the owner Ive been called nuts for buyinhg a v8 but Im going to convert him to ether lpg or possibly this hydrogen idia

muddyjames:
I know sentimental is a bad thing but I just love the car for the car as it is too. Ok, the headlining is held up by stapples and a few rust spots here and there I am trying to keep on top of but as a running car it is spot on. I did 240 miles this weekend and it was still a pleasure to drive and didnt feel tired at the end of each 110 mile journey. It is reliable too which I love.

In a way with 230k on the clock everytime I fill the car up with petrol I write it off :lol: but to me value of vehicle means nothing to me. Reliability means everything, hence why my rover is my favourite car as I know it will start in the morning, every morning. :lol:

and yes, feel free to add 2 or 3 pennies worth. all donations welcome be it in J2O tokens or advice. :lol:
