Given all the bits I could do it, not in this weather brrr.
Wouldnt want to fire it up until checked, let expert tune it
Then Im into - "im not touching diy" mentality from some, "I didnt fit it I cant/wont give you a certificate" etc.

I have a doughnut tank and a few parts, not enough. Have no idea about mic and match etc.
I suspect that doing the easy bits Im happy to do wont save me a lot of dosh ?

the nearest chap to me is foreign, eastern european, probably a good thing as theres loads flpg in poland, but his english is poor and hes often not at his workplace, hard to get hold of etc.

Hate to be a kill joy - just moved my insurance provider, they checked the LPG register to ensure it was fitted by a registered fitter before they would ensure me.
