Thread: Marrelli LPG complete *under the bonnet* kit

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.

seems like the right time to ask---

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,

Most authorities recommend (at least) annual servicing of LPG systems. Your local gas fitter would know what rules apply in your state.

How do you tell? A calendar? Perhaps you keep a log book and see a reduction in economy? Perhaps it runs roughly? It's a bit like oil changes, some people drive until the car "feels like" it needs servicing, which is usually far too late. Work out a schedule with your local expert.

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.

Richard.
