LPG conversion on my cabby
I bought the kit because fuel is so expensive, and it will make my cabby tax exempt, plus you get free parking in Sheffield city centre for green cars
Any tips or advice welcome
I dont want to cut a hole in the body for the filler point so a solution to this would be good :wink:

I have seen someone put a filler behind a rear light cluster before, you would have to create some hinge and catch system though for the light to open to give you access through.
Good luck with the install,

How much did you pay for the kit? Is it mk1 specific? Are there any restriction on where the filler valve can go? What about in the bumper?
I got the kit second hand from ebay for £100
I need to spend about another £100 on parts to fit it in my golf, like pierburg carb mixer, new copper lines and a few othe odds and sods.
Then I need to get it tested at a lpg garage for them to issue a certificate which costs £60
I dont think I want to put the filler point in the bumper either as they are new. I need to find out if it needs to be external or on a bracket in the boot.

In order to re-fuel the LPG tank a filler point is added to the outside of the vehicle. This takes the form of a colour coded flush mounted cover approximately 75mm in diameter that can be opened to reveal the filler connector. The mounting position can be almost anywhere towards the rear of the car. If body mounting is not desirable then tow bar or chassis mounting brackets are possible
So I think I will mount it on a bracket in the boot right next to the boot lid. If it's wrong I will change it later

After a little more research the filler neck has to go on the outside so really I have no coice but to cut a hole
Ok I got my kit today but need a few parts to complete it. Unfortunately city link damaged the tank cover and actually lost the tank support bracket :dontknow:
I also noticed it has an Italian filler neck so a uk one is needed
Looks simple enough to me, just go to source the right parts
The pierburg mixer is off ebay ( only place I could find it )
