Hi,
No problems with LPG, wish mine had bigger, "sideways cylinder" tank and the spare in the well. My boot now has spare wheel sliding around despite load-lugs and bungees (not appropriate for car of this class imho).
My toroidal tank takes just 60 litres due to allowance for expansion, gives only 200 miles before "red light" comes on. Then can do 50 or 60 miles but feels like I HAVE to refill...
Also engine needs time to fully warm up. Mine will go onto LPG really quickly but then get upset with itself and "trip out".
I switch off the LPG and let engine warm up, choosing when to switch back on.
Finally I wouldn't have bought any A8?without LPG. I take my hat off to owners running petrol engines doing 20 mpg but I can't...
