About 155k?
Does this represent about 0.78% of cars on UK roads?

How many LPG related accidents are reported?

I suspect NONE but don't let that stand in the way of the ' it could happen " scare bears.

I present my vehicle running on LPG for the test and always have done. You say MOT man isn't allowed to strip vehicle to check but from what I'm reading on here, thats what people are pushing for in the future- a nuts and bolt examination. I'd like to believe that it would be a one off but this is ...

So when Joe public has paid for his conversion and whipped it round to the MOT station for a fresh new MOT that involves removing all sorts of trim and checking every nut and bolt on his new gas conversion, he's going to be presented with another massive bill because this is BRITAIN and the govt are ...

You are right, I do see your point. My point is that some one has seen the way to make a few bob by spreading fear and alarm. They are suggesting their sole aim is the safety of LPG users who would be dying in their dozens in the UK if they don't seize control of the LPG trade and make it ultra safe ...

You carry on LPGC.
As for the continued inference from this trade body that they have rode in to town on a white charger to save lives and protect us all.... your bull routine is well known. Create fear, exaggerate the consequences, tell the sheeple that only you can save and protect them...collect ...

Please please please... somebody tell me how many lives will be saved in the UK every year by extra legislation, more controlling bodies and stricter mot's for lpg vehicles ??

I am drawn to this thread like a moth to a flame......
It contains all the buzzwords, safety, injury, MOT, E number, regulation, EU, restrict, govern, mandatory, compulsory and many more.
But in my simple world, I sit here and wonder how many people suffer from death or injury every year in Great ...

Tesco seems to have an anti lpg stratagy for customers....
I think Tesco have an anti customer strategy, but that's another discussion... :lol:

What some LPG retailers seem to forget is that the whole reason to convert is to save money. By definition, that makes us much more price sensitive and ...

Brand new purpose built Morrisons Supermarket in Preston has a new forecourt and NO LPG pump. Morrisons had been a forerunner in forecourts with LPG but they have taken the LPG pump away from their Speke branch on Merseyside as well.
Tescos Express has taken over several petrol stations in the North ...

I'd say it's legally binding. It's pretty clear, if you take a homebuilt, heavily modified or imported car in for IVA test and it has a system fitted by someone who is not a UKLPG member, they will refuse to test it simple as that. If they refuse to test it then it can't pass the test so cannot be ...

'A reminder of VOSA's viewpoint in the existing IVA guidance
"you should use an installer approved by the UKLPG association. LPG systems retro-fitted by other parties will not be accepted."'...
A viewpoint yes but not legally binding unless some legislation has been passed stating this and I missed ...

the bell tolls and all because some one has seen fit to rock the boat to build an empire. In my view the only person here rocking the boat is Simon who started it all. If his complaints that the UKLPG scheme is not working, is flawed, being routinely abused, etc get taken seriously, then the next ...

At present, there is no way of knowing if you are receiving good advice from a professional installer of many years standing or if you are being advised by some one who just dabbles at the odd conversion when reading replies on here. Would it be an idea for posters to put their credentials in the ...

What would we do if we weren't treated to all these wonderful regulations from the EU on an almost weekly basis ? The streets would be full of dead and injured I've no doubt.

Regarding you planting your foot and it's hesitant add gas on your map but add abit at a time, as to me it sounds like your not getting enough gas when you want it, the gas pressure on the table looks good to me

Bit confused here. If the gas pressure looks ok, why suggest turning it up ...

'They modify the IVA test and make it mandatory for fuel type changes. This is justified in law because the emissions are being changed, bonus they can paint it all 'green' politically. '.... very unlikely seeing as how the emissions are being changed for the better, one of the big selling points of ...

When every installer is on the UKLPG scheme and all conversions are on the register, where is the UKLPG going to make their money ? As their costs increase are they going to put up the installers membership fees every year, some thing a lot of installers won't be happy about. I suspect they will ...

The point I'm trying to make is that , in my view, the UKLPG has come along and whipped up a bit of hysteria by giving insurance companies the idea that they have rode in to town on a white stead to save them from some thing that wasn't really a problem and as a result of all this, put pressure on ...
