Default 850 LPG Swap ??

I have the following fitted to my 850 GLT Estate(This is how it reads on install sheet)

TANK MAKE-Tugra
TANK TYPE-Torroidal 58
REGULATOR MAKE-Bigas
EQUIPMENT SUPPLIER-KME

Just wondering is this a good system?Do they need regular servicing?How much would it cost to put in another 850?

Originally fitted at Panache Autogas in Manchester in 2005 but unsure of its history since then but seems to work ok

If it does have the KME electronics then that side of it is ok.

I take it the small tank is being used with a 7 seat conversion in the back?

A photo of the engine bay would give a lot more info than what will have come off install sheet.

Somewhere under the bonnet. A photo would help a lot to show what you have.
