Default LPG back and operational....

I got the tank back in the boot the other day, but I've only just had chance to sort the wiring....

Its not hard, just 4 wires for mine - 1 pair go to the pressure sensor for how full the tank is, and the other pair go to the solenoid valve that lets gas out of the tank when the car is burning LPG. At all other times, this valve is closed preventing gas escaping. I believe it is also set to trip closed at a certain flow rate, so if you rip a gas line wide open the valve will close instead of letting it all out. The outlet is the thin pipe on the left with the solenoid, and the fill pipe in the larger one on the right. It has a one way valve that opens under pressure to fill and then closes with the back pressure so its safe. Note the substantial bracketry too. LPGA regulations dictate what g-force impact a car should sustain and have the gas tank still anchored in position in the car, and whilst the numbers escape me, its a big number so it needs to be sturdy. One of the problems with the spare wheel tanks is that the A8 has a fiber glass tub which isnt strong enough to bolt to, so it needs metal work fabricating from above and always ends up with an uneven floor.... anyway, I digress....

And here we have the job done, covers on and boot looking quite tidy compared to a few weeks ago:



and my new LPG control location, now lit up with some green showing we're burning the good (aka cheap) stuff

Sorry, I missed this:

Door cards clips - 4D0 867 299 D

Yes, the plastic cover on the right hand side comes with the Rear seat entertainment kit to hide away the DVD changer and playstation, or in my case, DVD changer and power invertor...

Hi, out of interest what tyres do you have? Mine has Dunlop Sport SP9000 which I find generate a lot of road noise (at least I hope it's the tyres!).

Brilliant job Ian, I am in awe! Love the rear seat setup. And indeed general idea of putting everything on the car... Optional is a dirty word

Im running vredestein's, which are meant to be a pretty good tyre. it came with them on so i have no idea how they compare with regards to noise. I hope its the tyres causing my noise, but it would be nice if the full set of front suspension arms that are going on in a couple of weeks made things quieter.

Now I own this car, I have to say I am impressed. The added comfort over the standard sports seats surprised me.

Had to take my mum for a doctors appoitment today, was about 15 minutes and instead of staying in the waiting room. I jumped in to the back of the car and put some Family guy on. The seats are amazing, you are sort of lying back and just lazing with the blinds up and the TV right in front of you. Best position is all the way out then the seat base slightly upwards so it is like your sitting in, rather then on them.
