Here in Northern Ireland and in the rest of Ireland, the LPG pumps tend to be situated well away from the main pumps, almost as if it an embarrassment having them. On the few times I filled up with LPG in the rest of the UK, the LPG pumps are integrated along with the petrol and diesel ones.
As for the economical benefits, to this day, I still don't understand why more people don't get their cars converted, when the savings are (for me anyway) almost 50%, and my conversion paid for itself in less than a year and 10k miles.
Now if Mark could develop a similar system to his Select-a-map to work on my S8...
