It will be interesting to see if this place that has just opened down the road from me stays open for long, I didn't think there was much call for LPG these days?.
Camper vans, horseboxes, farriers, roofers, tarmackers..
Plus some people still use it in cars!
There is a good profit margin in selling it and people seem prepared to travel to get it so they might do well from it providing they can keep it stocked up!
No. The Ulez is simply to get everyone to buy newer cars to help the germans. I'd suggest that older cars, particually deisels, were cleaner than the silly DPF versions now.If your vehicle is LP powered does that negate paying that special toll for driving into
London that y'all speak of ?
No you will still have to pay if the converted vehicle was non compliant.If your vehicle is LP powered does that negate paying that special toll for driving into

Are there any reasonably priced LPG/refillable propane tanks to allow use of these stations for non vehicilular use?
France & Spain it’s on the forecourt of most of the bigger filling stations, I know it is or was popular in Holland, just never really took off here.LPG is a wonderful fuel, and if sold at the right price still viable, why it never took off properly I will never know.
Actually I do - the early carb replacement kits were liable to backfiring if changed over too quickly or run weak, some of the fitters were cowboys, and some fitted the kits without valvesaver, which totalled valve seats.
The injection kit I ran in my V6 was brilliant, 4 years faultless cheap motoring. I planned to transfer it to my Jag V6, but covid came along, another nail in its coffin.
Is your son local to you in Gloucestershire?My sons V8 Landy is gas converted & 3 of the local places have given up now.
I ran my Audi coupe for 140,000 on lpg,brilliant oil stayed clean,major loss of boot space though.
Last time I drove in London,Kings cross ,in 2004, no congestion charge.
This used to be a 24hr 7day a week workshop in the railway arches - when my kids were little in the mid 80's - I used to catch a train from King's Lynn to King's Cross at the weekends - throw a load of clutches/engines into FX4 taxis over the weekend. While drinking a load of beer - getting ****** and eating chinese duck takeaways - but I did come home on a Sunday - with some extra money for kids holidays/school uniforms and the like. This is how I saved up for my first house deposit in 1986. I had my own workshop in Norfolk - but even train fares/****/food/expenses - I could earn more money over a two day weekend - than I could in five days with my own customers in rural Norfolk.
