Hi there

Do you know of any good Installers around Sydney area?

What are some of the things I should be looking out for?

Is there a [List of Questions] somewhere in this forum that i've missed that can assist people that are thinking of installing LPG, or a place where recommendations are made of reputable servicers?

Thanks all

J

I am going to sunshine on the 30th of this month to get my wagon done, he seems like a good bloke he said he has been doing them for 25yrs and all I do is drop it off in the morning and pick it up the same day. Comes with a 3yrs warranty too. It is only costing me $2400 with the scuba tanks in the floor apparently it cost more to put them in so it should be cheaper for a standard tank. But for $400 bucks (after rebate) I am not complaining. icon_biggrin.gif He uses the omvl type gas convertor. I will post how it all goes if anyone is interested.

I have had LPG fitted to a few old ZC fairlanes over the years by MED at Villawood (Sydney), but recently went to get the NF 5.0 done and they no longer fit only supply! They put me on to Jimac Autos in Chipping Norton who did my NF for $2500 ( got the rebate in under a week) very happy with his work neat installation should give him a go! icon_biggrin.gif

i think you might find that the direct injection jobs are for later models to help stricter pollution laws, thats what i was told before getting "taxi" set up - bit harsh - i was told they are for 2000 and something onwards, but hey i don't claim to know too much about 6 paks - my setup is great buggar all power difference, most of the bad stuff you hear about LPG is from knobs who have never had it they just poo poo the whole thing.
i have asked around about the rebate and after the initial panic about withdrawal ther is apparently no plans to finish up rebate scheme.

I heard this too, something to do with the carbon trading tax. Bit of a cop out as its a cleaner burning fuel and they should be encouraging the use of LPG.
