I thought LPG had to be fitted by an authorised fitter by law. I wouldnt trust second hand parts for the best of times especially for LPG.

We used to live in a hole have a shovel full of coal tar for a daily meal, walk 17 miles naked in the snow up to the mill for a 29hr shift, and when we got home our dad would murder us and dance about on our graves! And you tell that to the young-folk of today and they wouldn't believe you! Last edited by RED_EL_XR8; 07-09-2005 at 01:54 PM. |

I was asking about the tank installation with three different mobs up here, and they all told me that I cannot touch it unless I have a licence to. I don't know what the deal is down south, I for one wouldn't touch my gas system unless I was absolutely 100% sure I knew what I was doing, and have the qualification to do so.

There are rules governing the anchorage positions, technique & materials used for tanks, pipes, electriacal, etc. By law, you can not fit your own tank & lines. I can't beleive you said that.

If you've ever seen a gas fire and or a gas bottle explode, you'd leave it to the registered professionals. The last thing I'd want is the equvelant of a couple hundred kilo's of TNT floating around in the boot.... :gren:

How many replies to this thread did you have to make to get to the topic? Dont answer that would be another pointless post to add to the list.

i'm going to take up bike riding to work eventually. However catching public transport is easy and cheap enough for now. Once I sell my XR6, which is using about $20 of petrol in 5 weeks, i'll put the car repayments into doing up the house and buying a nice push bike or two (perhaps one mountain bike and one racer)
