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.

im putting the kit in myself with all new fittings, hoses etc,

but just need someone to check it over when its done,

any one around maitland/newcastle even sydney, it will be about a month before it's done,

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.
