Yea definitely 3mm internal diameter, I rang un Tinley when I ordered my extra bits and I asked about the nozzles and needing to make them bigger but he said anything more than 3mm is pointless as that the internal size so won't make a difference. |

If you get your spuds in the right place, there's no reason the hoses between them and the injectors are any longer than where they are now and the main thing is they're near enough vertical. The big thing as you know is getting them the same length. I'll have to look at my injector rails, see what's what on those, i wonder if the guy at Tinleys meant the internal bore of the calibration nozzles is 3mm or if he really meant the gas rail.

Day 2 - A fair bit of progress made today, first thing was mounting those injectors. I cut my old bracket up, flipped it around and shortened it slightly to allow the rail to sit vertically. the rubber bushing bolts that are supplied mean that the connectors hit the fuel rail so I'm going to get some rubber washers to shorten the distance but also so the rail isn't solid mounted. I also had to re make the bracket that holds the flow meter as this wasn't lined with the injectors anymore.
Next I took the manifold off to put the injector nozzle in. I managed to get a bit of an angle on them unlike my other Volvo as the manifold isn't as bulking so I could angle the drill a bit. while it was off I tapped into the water lines and plumbed these in. I also changed the thermostat and cleaned out the crank case breather oil box thingy, it was already clean to be fair but gave it another one anyway. I then put the manifold and wiring back on which was a little fiddly as I put all the injector clips the other side to give me room to the LPG injectors. Once everything was in and I was happy with locations I put all the pipework in, Everything is now plumbed in under the bonnet, I'm just going to take the brackets off and give them some paint. I also have the tank "in". It fit perfectly under the floor until I bolted it down and for some reason is now sits a little high. This tank didn't come with the 4 mounting bolts on the bottom like my other one did sadly, but it did come with a hole through the middle, which I was told would be good enough to mount it down with, this is what I've done. I found a 24mm threaded bar and some steel plate to spread the load. I'm going to turn a boss on the lathe to centre the bar better but for now a washer will do. Tomorrow I'll take it out, paint the plate up and seal the hole up, I'll also seal the valve hole up too and bolt it in for good. The filler plate I made for my other car gave me some grief, I was hoping for a straight bolt on but that didn't happen. the light socket wire isn't long enough to go on the right which meant I had to flip the plate, I also had to do this because the filler housing hits on the break away hooks on the tow bar, as a rusult of it being inverted the socket also now sits wonky! What I'm going to do is cut one of the hooks off on the left, get a longer section of cable for the wiring socket and put it on properly! the plate also sits lower, this is because the holes are offset. |

so a very busy day but its pretty much done now. I got the filler plate on the tow bar switched back around, I managed to get more cable through and chop off one hook. The tanks all in, all pipe work is in, the tanks hole is sealed up and the wiring is almost done, I have just he lambda wire to solder in and I have to fit the level gauge in the car, that just means poking the wire through the bulkhead somewhere though.

If you get your head in the drivers footwell with a torch and look on the bulkhead above the accelerator pedal, you'll see a 4-way grommet - throttle and bonnet release cables go through it leaving a couple of spares, perfect for the changeover switch/gauge cable.
Nice, neat looking job under the bonnet too!

Yea it came out rather neat thanks to the cable ties fitted along the scuttle panel there, meant all the wires could be stored together, was a bit of a mess on my V40 as you get a lot of excess wiring. |

If you have a word with Mark (griston64) he may have some spares from the breaker. I know it's a late 940 but i think the blanks are the same. If not then ebay or a Volvo dealer.
I might have one floating around but i think i used it. I'll have a look.

PM sent. Where did you send the ECU for repair? I see page 40 / 41 you spoke about it being sent away. Cheers
