I got the biggest tank in mine, 102 litres, as I had your problem in the past. You need to fiddle about with the wheel well to make it fit but its worth it.

any suggestions on where to get a tank from? the best i've seen for a 95l tank is in the region of 400quid ... which is quite a lot for that extra few litres. V8 or else ...

because of the nature of what the tank does [holds gas!!] , the best and safest place to buy one would be an authorised lpg dealer.. ... - .- -.

if you dont get a tank from a ALPG Installer it may invalidate your insurance

Rads -

To get the boot floor panel to sit completely flat, I had to remove the spare wheel mounting - its a pressed piece spot welded to the floor of the well. I managed to remove the piece using a spot drill avoiding any damage to the well itself. Touched in with red lead after to be safe from rust. I placed some decent rubber blocks between the gas tank and the wheel well, to avoid vibration, before bolting it down.

I took most of the felt mat off the back of the boot floor panel as well. After that, it sits flat. On top of the boot floor, I have the thick rubber boot mat - no worries bout noise etc.

Gotta say, the LPG installer didnt do the best job of this aspect of the install - he left the panel proud of the floor- but it was easy to sort out as described above. No other worries with his work though.

i get about 200 miles round town in mine but filling up all the time is a pain im going to upgrade my tank which is easy to do

if you use your own pipes and fittings they are even cheeper

Doesn't seem much point in having an LPG system if only used on the motorway. I cant tell when mine has switched itself on without looking.

I recently changed the spark plugs to NGK Iridium LPG plugs and the MPG seemed to fall from about 200 miles per tank to around 150-160! I've also had a front end 2010 conversion done recently, involving a new air filter, so I reckon the best thing is to get a decent remap which hopefully will restore some of the lost MPG. Local tuners charge £150 for a mobile but bespoke service ( not a chip swap). Worth a punt, as the short range is driving me mad!

I was informed by a 'Chipping' company that they wouldn't remap an LPG converted car. Anyone any idea why that is?

I get 13/14 mpg local and 17/18 mpg on a run to Anglesey on dual(65/70mph) and single(40/60mph) carriageway roads.

I just had my sc 55 plate range converted recently pain in the but to set up still not running good for some reason urban mpg I am only getting 120 miles max on 75 litres is this correct u think guys? I think I need to find some 1 who knows how to set it up properly it's a Brc plug n drive system fitted with 2 vapourisers.

Something defo wrong there. A plug and drive SRC system should return 3 per litre not 1.6. What does it do to the gallon on petrol? Probably need restting on the gas base map.

I get between 200 and 220 miles out of 80 litres on a SC with prins.

On petrol on £30 about 50 miles[/code]

That's only about 10.5 per gallon on petrol. It suggests the car wants looking at before you do the gas.
