Auto-LPG Conversion Thread

[ghosthunter]

The DTI representative have said that one of the reason why some (or most) of the LPG conversion companies are not accredited is that they are not complying to some of their (DTI's) conditions such as the tank should not be inside the passenger cabin (the tank of my LPG kit is at the back of my ride since my ride [mitsu adv] has no compartment), meaning if our ride has no compartment, the DTI is suggesting us to use our spare tire space and use the torroidal tank or put the tank on the car roof (now who would want that?). And soon, the LTO will include the checking of LPG conversion upon registration renewal. That's why they adviced the LPG kit users to ask for the xerox copy of the DTI accreditation of the LPG Conversion Company.

The DTI should be aware that even the trunk of the car is still connected to the main cabin of a car via air vents through the deck under the rear window. And it is kinda stupid to recommend the tank to be installed on the roof a car where it is in a more dangerous position because the sheet metal there was never designed to carry a heavy mass, much less, designed to restrain a heavy mass in case of vehicular impact. The chassis is a better structure to install restraints to prevent the tank from moving in case of vehicular impact/collision.

As for the LTO implementing some sort of checking, it was a matter of time I guess but I wonder what would be the LTO criteria when checking LPG systems? Would it be as useless as checking for "early warning device"? Will they be looking for the certificate of installation from the installer?

Or is it a case of some DTI official shooting off his/her mouth like a big number of senators and congressmen?
