Also, my friend did his own LPG conversion on his Fiat Cinquento, bought all the parts for about £400 on ebay. He's laughing now!

Every 20,000 miles the LPG system needs a service........it is a few filters which you could do yourself...........but no point as you would want to keep the warranty.......all simple stuff.

I really am sold on this. Above all the other bits my car needs this would save me money. Can't think of any other mods that save you money..........maybe tyres but I think that is more to do with correct inflation.

I got a reply from the Director....

MG ZS180

PLEASE NOTE THESE ARE SPECIAL ONE OFF PRICES FOR KITS IN STOCK, AND CAN NOT BE REPEATED WHEN THEY ARE GONE THEY ARE GONE.

Dear Sir/madam

Thank you for your LPG conversion enquiry regarding the above vehicle

As one of the countries leading, and oldest converters, with over 10 years exprience we can promise you a superb service, and as we only supply and fit the highest quality equipment we promise unrivalled performance and reliability.

As I am sure you can appreciate your enquiry is for a very popular vehicle to convert and lends itself readily so. However if a poor choice of equipment and converter is made, what should be a joy of half price motoring quickly becomes a pain.

The prices for the conversion includes VAT, tyre sealant where needed,13mm fast fill hosing not 8mm copper, and a proper UK filler not a screw together adaptor along with the largest LPG tank possible for your car.

PRINS £ 2000 INC. VAT

BRC SEQ £ 1750 INC. VAT

PLEASE NOTE AS WE ARE A QUALITY SUPPLIER WE DO NOT USE OR SUPPLY ANY POLISH OR EASTERN EUROPEAN SYSTEMS WE HAVE TRIED THEM THEY ARE RUBBISH,THIS INCLUDES, KME, STAG, GS1, EASYGAS ETC


This quotation is valid for 30 days.

All of the above systems will perform perfectly but for many reasons, usually technical if we have recommended

A particular system it is will be for a specific reason, if you would like to know why, please call

These are all 4th or 5th generation fully sequential systems, that are top of the range in their price bracket, please do not compare them price wise with vastly inferior equipment that some convertors may offer you. they are fully automatic in operation and carry a 2yr unlimited mileage manufacturer's warranty. (Except Prins which is 3 years.)

Tank fitment is 70 litres in place of spare wheel

System is also fully transferable from vehicle to vehicle.

We can aslo include a courtesy vehicle If required (subject to hire) WE CAN ALSO COLLECT AND DELIVER WITH A COURTESY VEHICLE DELIVERED TO YOU, EITHER AT WORK OR HOME IF REQUIRED, SO THERE IS NO NEED FOR YOU TO TRAVEL (subject to conditions)

I have enclosed some brochures to help you understand the operation of sequential gas injection, over other and older cheaper systems.

Please click on the links, all files are checked safe to open.

FOR PRINS VSI FOLLOW

We will also try to beat any other quote you may have received for any system from an LPGA approved convertor

A guy on XPF - "Gary the snail" has just done this on his Mk1 for about £1500.

He might be worth speaking to.

Must have missed this I've got a Prins in my 180, and so far it has all worked fine. Mine runs on petrol for a minute or so ( abit longer when we had the -15 over the winter) and automatically switches to gas. You may notice a slight performance reduction, but I've compared for fun by switching the gas on and off and well, it's a small reduction if any. Not really noticable on the road. My gas tank is in the spare wheel bay - I'm in the ADAC over here and I'm not required by law to carry a spare, but as I haven't had a puncture for about 7 years....They did a test here by the way and crashed trains into gas tanks to see if they would explode, and all they did was dent it slightly, no leakeage at all. My petrol costs me as of yesterday EURO 1,40 and gas EURO 58,9 and despite the slight increase in consumption its still a no brainer financially. Pays for itself in 40000km which is what, 24,000 miles? Oh, you will probably notice a slight increase in oil consumption. Don't know why, but I bet one of the clever boffins on here does. Hope this helps.

Having spoken to a local conversion guy who fits BRC mutli point systems he was talkings about the lash lube. This is for lubricating the valves i believe it comes as an extra with there kit but is essential not to knacker your engine. Does prins system have this built in? I got a quote from my local prins fitter he quoted 1950 but no courtesey car for me though.

good idea if you do the mileage to make it pay for itself, 1500 quid buys a lot of petrol.
Assuming a full tank of petrol costs 66 quid and gas would be roughly half that at 33 quid then it would take 46 full tanks of gas to pay for the conversion, at 250 miles per tank that would equate to 11500 miles before your saving money as it were.
Got to be worth a good mulling over if you do them kind of miles i suppose.
If not its a nice set of new wheels and tyres, lol.
