LPG conversion - chicken and egg runaround

John · 2008-06-24T16:19:21+00:00

I'm seriously considering getting my car converted to LPG (Nissan Maxima QX 3.0 SE+ Auto) but as it's going to cost the best part of two grand, I want to be sure of getting a decent system.The problem is that there are at least a dozen manufacturers, with Prins, OMVL, Romano, Tartarini and BRC being just a few of them. The LPGA have an approved installer scheme (which I suppose is like a CORGI equivalent) but I'm finding that not all installers fit all systems.Some approved installers may have a range of 3 or 4 systems, while others specialize and only fit one type. I'm going round in circles trying to find a website or some reference that will list good and bad points of each, or have some sort of rating or recommendation - after all, someone has to be the best and someone has to be the worst.The best I've come up with so far is a website that said they couldn't recommend any particular one but that the Scottish government had offered some sort of grant to motorists to have the conversion done, and the ones that were approved by them as eligable for the grant were AG, BRC, Landi, Necam, OMVL, Prins, Romano and Tartarini.Can anyone add anything to that or point me to some more useful information?TIA, John

Perhaps you should get that copyrighted, because in my bachelor's degree, my master's degree and my doctoral degree research, I've never come across this (or any) reference by Tooolstocare.

Best do it before someone steals your idea.

Which bit were you WTFing - the concept itself of an adolescent culture, or the idea that it was created by compulsory schooling?
