Even LPG only makes sense if you have a big car that you want to keep a long time and use a lot.

Otherwise, it's diseasal - or even petrol if your mileage isn't so big.

I always felt a bit 'at the edge' with my LPG conversion, but to think of sharing the CNG experience with just a handful of bin lorries and some hill farmers in Leighton Buzzard is more than my tired old brain could cope with!!!!

Been a really interesting thread this. I love to think that there's folk out there thinking about things in a different way - especially if it means that HMG get less of your hard-earned ££££s!

Cheers

Jack

That made me smile, No Capt, you are positively mainsteam, and don't you doubt it.

Strictly speaking, those dustcarts are usually LNG, rather than CNG, so as far as as I'm aware, the is NO, repeat no, filling station for me. At least I don't know of one.

I think a few local autorities might have it, but not for public use. I heard Wiltshire council have it. This might sound a bit leftfield, only I don't really want them anyway. If they were there, I'd avoid them if I could. It defeats having Homefill.

'Chive' run an LNG natioanl network of 6 or 7 stations, for HGV, near or on, motorway sevice stations, but that is cryogenic frozen so will not do for CNG tanks. That leaves Homefill or nothing for me.

Have I 'frit' you up?

You invented the perpetual machine and broke the laws of thermodynamics, why not go and get a Nobel prize instead of converting cars?

You are just an approved and certified scammer.

How dare you say such things...

I have had namoprobic transistors fitted to my brain by my doctor.
When I have finished with fitting his HHO system, my next project is to build a hydraulic robot
And when its finished.......probably when I'm 70 years old that is; I'm going to have my brain put in it so i can live forever. Will you join me?

Yes, maybe I was a bit closed-minded, it is a long time since I learnt about conservation of energy back in primary/high school.

I appologize jayhl7, maybe you can tell us some more about how hho works?

I suspect your memory is not failing you.

I wanted one. To hell with CNG, thsi has to be far better.

Developements so far, I rang jayhl7, he's only 120 miles from me, went down, and he fitted his gizmo, it only took 10 mins, and whoopee, it works.

Only issue so far, is that ever since then, I'm having trouble with the secret mind-control tech contained in jayhl7 little black-box. He didn't tell me about that bit, and that was just plain, sneaky.

It's OK, I've found the cure, as long as I wear a tin-foil hat, and keep at least 10 feet away from it, I don't hear the voices.

And er... Miss World, VB & capt, let us all know how you get on when you've had him install yours.
