Romano Vaporizer mounting orientation

#1 Post by TerryG »

Sorry to keep popping in to ask questions but I am trying to learn how to install an LPG kit for myself.
Thanks to Rossko I have managed to fire up and test my replacement LPG system and electronically it seems to be good :)
Looking at mounting the components in the car, I can't work out what the top is of the vaporiser.
It looks the same as this one

Is the LPG inlet really on the top or does it not matter? I would like to orient it with the inlet on one side and the outlet top or bottom but I would rather it be mechanically correct than aesthetically if that makes sense.

You can mount this reducer any way up but some of us would rather mount it with the vacuum port pointing down (can help prevent condensed HC's from running into the reducer through the vacuum reference pipe) - This consideration wouldn't be something that would prevent me mounting the reducer in a different orientation to make for neater pipe runs, etc, though.. And if you mount it with gas outlet at the top or bottom that will be fine.

Thanks Simon, That is just what I wanted to hear :)
Is it possible to rotate the housing so the vacuum line can be pointed downwards? I have noticed it appears to be in 3 sections but I haven't gone so far as to undo any bolts.
Cheers.

I don't know with this reducer, maybe you can rotate the front housing but the raised rectangular section on the front cover might imply otherwise.

Really wouldn't worry too much, nobody else would! Maybe just have a dip in the vac pipe before the reducer to help catch condensed HC's.
