Hi all
Have decided to install a multi point LPG system into my 318is.
Need input on exactly what parts I will need?
The best/most cost effective shops to purchase from?
Any tips for install? i.e filler under number plate etc.
Thanks in advance

Tim_s had his running on LPG, he's the best person to ask

The best source of parts is to buy a ropey car off of ebay, that has a conversion using quality bits.
I've done this three times now, obtaining a Prinns system (the best) attached to a perfectly serviceable E36 325 saloon for £600, a BRC system attached to an E34 525i, for £370, and an AEB system bolted to some six cylinder jap scrap for £99. The latter was delivered to my home, and weighed in for more than the £99.

That sounds like a good plan but i do not really know what i am looking for, i think i may find a supplier to supply all parts then fit it my self.
If any one knows of a good lpg info website that would be good.

There's a V6 Audi, a Jag, and assorted Japcrap 4WD stuff on ebay at the moment. Check that it has DIY friendly sequential LPG fitted before buying though.

Ignore the above! Just noticed this is a four pot sub forum.
Plenty of four pot stuff on there as well though.

That shouldn't be far out for a M42.
This character lists loads of kits on ebay. I've bid on one or two, but never actually bought anything from him, though.
Only strange thing is, I've seen stuff that has attracted a bid or two, then ends up relisted. !00% feedback, so should be OK.

Quite interested in this kit
http://autogas-lpg.co.uk/full-cunversio ... ludes.html its within my budget and with my limited knowledge looks OK,
Are these kits any good or cheap crap?
