Thanks very much. I hope he comes up with an answer. I would like to have it on LPG to get the miles up. But I love the performance of it. It is very impressive.
Where about are you? I had my R converted but I'm in the midlands.
I'm at Sheffield. Not too far away from the midlands area.
I had my 850 converted by these people:

I had mine done there too, EGC Portway m42 junction 3.
Cheers everyone. I think if yours is all ok I'll take mine there. Any idea on how long it takes? 4 days?
It took 4 days ish with a spare wheel tank, and quite cheap compared to some.
Mine took 5 days, but they gave me a loan car, so was quite happy.
Cheers for your help. I'll be booming mine in with them by the sounds of it. It's worth traveling to a good garage to get it done properly. Do I need that valve protection stuff they put on or will it be ok?
Flashlube?
Mine isn't using it, and they was no sign of any valve problems when I had the head apart.
Oh right. That's ok then. What did you have the head apart for then?
How much was it?
Gutted mine was £1400 last march... It's going in for service on 25 jan as I've done 18000 miles since...
If u want to travel to Luton u r welcome.
The most important is very good installer knowing what parts are worth to offer to his customer.
Never go for 1 day install.
Hi Mark
I had mine done by a company close to Rother valley, just round from were i work, they use kits supplied by FES autogas.
Had the OMVL Dream Piro system on my S80T6 for over 5years and its been great, no loss of power MPG is a little less than on petrol and does drop a bit over winter.
The kit cost me £1800 and took 5 days and has more than paid for its self.
In 5 1/2 years ive covered 47000 miles given my average mpg is a misarable 20mpg that equates to 2350 gallons of fuel 4.54 litres per gallon = 10669 litres
been very conservative with price per litre over 5 years
gas @ 52.9 would be £5643.90
lets say average price of petrol last 5 year @99.9 would be £10658.33
so a saving of £5014.43 less cost of kit give a in my pocket £3214.43
Hope that helps, ok i do have to put a bit of petrol in now and then to keep the injectors going and the initial start up.
Hope that helps.
OMVL ECU is not bad, but injectors are low quality.
