FITTING A LPGAS SET UP, do they have to fit it or can i ?

Post by bucketofbolts »

if i set up everything, from start to finish,

will a gas mechanic check it and pass it, (of coarse if it's up to standard)

or do they have to do everything,

i have rang a few different gas places and they didn't want to know,

i understand they are busy, but if i fit everything and all they have to do is check it over and pass it or tell me have more work to do,

what's the go?

I remember reading somewhere that you can fit the tank/converter etc, but they have to route or at least hook up all the lines - not sure if this is law or a spescific workshops rule though.

If it does not have new tanks then you will need them tested ( if out of test date)

You can fit the system yourself. You just need to have it certified by a profesional.
The systems are easy to fit and can be done in a day.
