LPG 944? Seen it all now

Ive seen a white one with LPG at the Porscheshop day a few weeks back. Driver reported no problems and loves the savings!
The conversion usually costs around 10% of power makes the engine bay a veritable nest with all the extra pipes and wires and there is a large tank across the back between the wheel arches up to the height of the seat backs.
A friend has run a LPG Disco for 10-12 years and wont swap it.

Our own Tref was working on an LPG conversion, haven't seen an update for a while though. [8|]

Well he definitely had an LPG tank sat in the back of the car last time he was round. Mind you he had all sorts of stuff in the back of the S2.

I'm 'potentially' considering ruining my car atm considering I used to fit them for a living. £20 for 90 miles is getting a little taxing when I do 100-200 miles a week.
If I were doing it, I'd be sticking the tank where the spare wheel is. I'd have no gauge, but tbh you work off the miles you do with LPG conversions anyway (I've yet to see an accurate gauge in an LPG conversion).
Either that, or drive the shared 306 a bit more where I can (currently trying to do). But that thing is sloooooow compared to the S2 (70BHP of IDI Derv fun LOL).

Tref indeed had a very impressive tank in the back and was contemplating how to get the necessary vents and pipes from there into the engine bay. Quite a project. I liked his outlook on the whole thing; his S2 was scruffy, and a daily driver; he loved having such a great car as everyday transport, and simply wanted it to be cheaper to run. That certainly was no garage queen, and commanded respect as a result. (There's no pleasure to be had from a sports car sat stationary in a garage all the time; not the original Porsche mentality at all.)
