Hi guys, just wanna give a shout out for simon andrew of lpg conversions. Travelled up to doncaster a few weeks ago from west mids for an lpg conversion on the Elgrand after only owning it for 2 weeks. It was a 1st class job with a factory finish and a lot easier on the pocket driving around at 70pence a litre with no loss of performance that i can see.

Always top work , and its still worth using lpg in your location , alot harder finding in other areas , enjoy your bus
 
70p a litre is cheaper than water
 
Most people can have LPG supplied in a red bottle. My nearest forecourt that sells LPG is 7 miles away just this side of Doncaster, it is a Morrisons and charges £1.09 per litre. Instead of using the Morrisons, or one of the other Morrisons or the BP garage which are all a similar distance away and similar price (the BP is slightly cheaper) I have a red bottle delivered to home because it works out at 85p per litre and because I can refil at home from the red bottle using a pump (so I don't have to drive the 7 miles to Morrisons)... That's a no brainer for me but I understand some people wouldn't be able to have a red bottle at home or wouldn't want to mess about with a bottle and pump.

I had today off work to take my boat on the river through York, wasn't particulalry bothered about going but I wanted to flush the saltwater out of the boat engine cooling system. On return from boating I stopped at the local Shell station in South Elmsall and brimmed the boat petrol tank with E10, which cost £1.69 per litre. If I used the boat more often I would for sure convert it to run on LPG instead of petrol. Even if I had to pay £1.09 per litre for LPG for the Elgrand it would still be a no brainer compared to paying £1.69 for E10, or £1.87 for the higher octane E5 that many on this forum recommend Elgrand engines should run on. LPG has higher octane than E5.
