Hi Chris Thanks for the reply, the only drawback is the fact that it is very expensive locally at £1750 plus VAT Cheers Probsat I have been running cars (including a few Lexus's) on LPG for years now and never had a problem. i have just had a GS300 Sport gassed up and cost me £950 inc vat, for the single point system, they offered the multi point for £1300 took them 2 days and did a quality job too. Hi I assume that you had your work done in Plymouth, have you got a contact number please. What is the economy and performance like? What is the advantage of the mutipoint? Sorry for all of the questions Cheers Probsat Yes it was in Plym 01752 249915 Economy is great 80 - 110 miles for £10 of LPG Multi point better economy but only by something like 3% but more parts to go wrong, so i chose single point which i have always used with no problems. hi i have purchased a tartinin97 single point system with donut tank from ebay for £150 for a mark 1 g3 300 sport 88000 is it worth insatlling it on this car i do about 25000 business miles a year but dont use this car its my toy but it would be nice if i wanted to go to scotland or so that i would be on lpg. is this single point worth a risk it is complete and for a mk1 gs or should i buy a brand new one any help would be apprecited cheers
