I fitted a wheel well tank to go with my existing cylinder tank, holds 80L now, that's 18 gallons, gets me 200 miles around town or 350 on the motorway

I know its an old thread but im lovin the 120 litre tank. I thought mine was big at 85 litres just standing proud of the spare wheel well.

You could always fit a 120 litre tank aswell & have 205 litres :D

You must have a very heavy right foot I get 220 round town & 280 on the run from 56 litres, more if I pussy foot it.

But you have a mkIV. More economical :)

Anybody recommend a system and fitter for a 1995 Mk3 round about the Bury/Manchester Area ?

Forget all the rest and go straight down to Profess Gas just the other side of the Seven bridge. They will lend you a car for the day amd when you get back all will be done Just over £1000 and in an instance you have almost halved the cost of motoring paradise.

Thanks Mike but South Wales is some distance away from Manchester ... have you had a system fitted by them ? What makes them stand out from the other fitters out there ? Anybody recommend a fitter closer to me ?

I normally use Dual Fuel in Woking Surrey but they wanted more than twice the amount Profess Gas wanted and they also wanted the car for a week or more so after looking through the internet I came across Profess and trawled the WWW for anyone that had a bad thing to say about them but apart from one guy whos car couldnt be finished, they put him up in a nice hotel for the night free with lots of applogies there was nothing.

I rang them and spoke to them they came across as professional they use Italian Polish fitters who have been fitting these systems for years and when they work they work dammed hard and thats not the same as most UK garages think means working hard. They offered to give me telephone numbers of past customers which I didnt take up but thought I would bite the bullit and book it in and was I glad I did.

I arrived at 8.15am for an 8.30am appointment they took the car straight away lent me a Toyota LPG for the day they said it would be finished by 5pm and it was, they filled the tank up asked me to go for a 20min run to see if I was happy with it there were no problems I took it back and while I paying they refilled the tank after the test run. The installation was extreamly neat no greasey marks inside or out and its been in a year now no problems. They do ask you to take the car back after about 1000 miles just in case it needs tweeking but that took 5 mins and all is well.

I shall be taking my wifes new Mondeo estate down there for LPG with no reservations at all.

I can give them and you no better recomendation.

Manchesters not that far down the M5 I had to come from Surrey.

Thanks for that Mike - extremely helpful and it sounds like a trip to sunny Wales for me when I decide to get it done (probably during Summer now) I'll have to make a 'day trip' out of it with the wife and kids ... :)
