LPG and insurance

Post by nexttouseless »

Considering an lpg conversion. Has anyone had any problems with insurance and the dredded 'has the vehicle been modified in any way' question?
Would not be doing it myself, so the conversion would be certified.

Also does the engine need more 'looking after' with a conversion on it?

HIC do my insurance, rang them up to tell them I had been converted, had to send them a copy of the certificate, came back all done, and at no extra charge :D

Mine was done By Steve of Gasure
See http://www.gasure.co.uk/

Steve provides the certificate to send to the insurance company.
They were fine with it, no loading at all.

All in all, well worth converting - mine has been just great, no fuss, and half price motoring :) :)

Thanks everyone,
checked with our insurers (tesco) and they were fine, just wanted to be advised once we had undergone 'the change'.
