Hi. I have been looking for the answer to this . If you get your vehicle fitted with a LPG gas conversion. With the emmisions reduced and the certificate to prove it . Can you reregister the vehicle with the DVLA as alternative fuel . and how much VED road tax will you pay. Or is it just £15 less than the standard tax. Cheers for any help.

i pay £70 for my mondeo. think it should be £105ish? its not a lot different but makes me smile when i buy tax, lol... you should get a certificate when you get the conversion done as long as its by a registered fitter...

as iv said in other threads youll make back a LOT of money.

i do 350 miles a week... thats a full tank. i save about £30 per tank of LPG... £30 x 52 weeks is £1600ish... times that by 3 years and youll save £3000ish

can do a whole lot more with £3000 than what you can with £1750

any idea what the effect is on warranty?

when i got my gen 3 v6 it was lpg converted already and if i remember right the tax was only £10 a year less than normal

the only reason i bought the coupe was the fact it was lpg'd, when i got it lpg cost 30p a litre, i think its up to about 55p now, still a saving but its starting to catch up

warentee wise i got an aftermarket AA one and when the clutch went they had no problem paying out as i'd declared the conversion when i took the warentee out

insurance wise again it was declaired and i had to produce a certificate of fitting from a registered lpg fitter, same as when i had the tank removed and replaced with a spare wheel well type

i got rid of it in march last year and have regretted it ever since, if i could get it back tomorrow i would, great car, great mods and with lpg great economy
if any new users havent seen it in any old threads (as i haven't been on for a while) here she is, if anyone knows of its where abouts now i'd love to know, i sold it to someone in newton-le-willows.......



this was the original tank that was in when i first got it but it took up too much room so i had it changed for the wheel well type so i could have a boot again.......


i fabricated a false wooden floor which i carpeted to match the rest of the car, it was resing on top of the new tank, i lost about 5 inches in depth off the boot height, now i had a new floor it was time for part 2 of the plan.......................


refill the boot!!

this is the car when i got it........



and when i very stupidly sold it........



note the lpg filler on the drivers side

apologies if you've seen them before but i thought i'd share them with the newer members

god i miss that car

Yeah Jim she was a nice car ... i nearly bought it myself when you had it on ebay , and boy it dosen't seem like over a year ago you sold it ... how time fly's i'm in St Helens now ... so i will keep a eye out for her as Newton-le-willows is only five minutes from here

if you happen to see it with a for sale sign in the window then let me know and i'll get it back......seriously!!

looks like a nce motor you had there mate.

what was the pick up like with lpg in it?

Right Jim would be great to have you back on the forums with your Coupe again ... i will be checking every Silver Coupe now for the LPG cap
