Ok just went through a tank today i got 405ks out of it, cost around 40 to fill it and he said that the first tank wont be that good on gas. and i wasnt taking it easy so i dont think that is to bad that works out to be around 10 buck per 100ks. icon_smile.gif

the difference between omvl and impco is fairly major

omvl has a mixer ring and complex convertor

impco has a proper propane "carby" with a simple converter

I personally have impco stuff on my current and past cars....ive gotten to know this system fairly well and think it aint bad...

the advantage i see is that impco style convertors are much cheaper than omvl is it ever needs replacing...the only thing i dont like is that on my EF the mixer setup isnt that compact but on an ED it is very well packaged

in terms of power im not sure what would flow better, the simple ring or complex mixer?
