I've ordered my kit... I'll be hitting you up for contacts when it all arrives Clark... :)
How is the kit going and who would you recommend speaking to in trying to get one sent out from the UK?
Mine's going flawlessly now after a couple of teething problems. Fuel consumption is pretty solid on 340-370kms per 75litres LPG. Power is more or less the same LPG/Petrol. Installation is pretty normal with the one extra task of swapping the polarity of the wires on all the injectors (which I'm sure Steve will mention) - unless the newer kits use different injectors ?
My contact was Steve Strongitharm at Hytek autogas (www.hytekautogas.co.uk)
I bought my kit from eBay UK (HYTEK AUTOGAS items - Get great deals on LPG Kits, LPG Conversions items on eBay.co.uk Shops!) - although the vendor initially didn't want to ship overseas after some discussion he agreed and I organised my own freight through Courier Quote - Shipment Details I've also found https://www.transglobal.org.uk/get_quote.asp to be good for UK freight in the past.
Update, I see now they will happily post to Australia for $166:

I'm just wondering how you go getting filters for the system.
I'm assuming there would be filters involved somewhere....
Is it any easy job to service this system?
I think this would be a good option for me but it's no good if you can't get parts if/when you need them:)
Ask 'em. I pay $22 each for 10mm filters to suit the kits I buy here. They last 40,000km at least. I'm sure that as soon as you know what size the hoses are then you can find a supplier here. Or get spares etc sent from the UK, it only takes a week or less to get here by post. There are injection filters galore on ebay. Just search.Quote:

how important are the gas system services, and can you tell when a system needs servicing? and whats involved?
laptops? gas anylisers(RON!)? Injection testing?
so many questions,:p
Most authorities recommend (at least) annual servicing of LPG systems. Your local gas fitter would know what rules apply in your state.Quote:

Just purchased my Marrelli LPG kit from Hytek on ebay. Much deliberation and not a little procrastination went into this purchase......and the feedback from this thread was what convinced me to go this way!
Now the wait begins for it to turn up.
I still have to source a manifold tank yet. There are none on ebay anywhere near me at the moment-Hunter Valley-and as no couriers will touch LPG tanks I'm a bit stuck.
