I mentioned this on another thread but it needs separately flagging up.

It's cumbersome, but you can use Google translate if your Swedish is not too hot, however there is a lot on here:

German:

http://www.erdgasfahrer-forum.de/

Or Swedish

http://www.forumgas.se/forum/

OK, the Swedes and Germans run the CNG models, but after the regulator they are identical to the Necam/Koltec UK LPG versions, so don't be put off. They have exactly the same issue as LPG models. Erdgas is German/ Dutch for CNG so look of "Erdgas Volvo" and stuff will come up. Enjoy...

There's vastly more info on there thatn here. I think Bifuels are relatively plentiful in Germany & Sweden. The bubble test is good, and how to clean-up the distributor etc etc

I've had a look through at some of the stuff when you mentioned it on the other thread and some of it is very good. Google translation seems to have improved too. Their forums are a bit more hands on which is good.

There's a good post on there about stepper motor problems due to dry joints in the electronics.

Ta for the pointers.

Yes, if you've a factory Bifuel, before you do anyhtign I'd spend a hour or two reading their stuff. One poster, I think he was calling himself "Huey' very knowledgable.
