Any feedback appreciated. I have a book that describes converting to LPG, called Technologocal Self Sufficiency (by Robin Clarke, Faber Paperbacks). It gives the address of this bloke: Jerry Friedberg, Arrakis Volkswagen, PO box 531, Point arena, California 95468. He sells a manual, 'How to convert your auto to propane', and kits to do the job. The book was printed in 1976 so that address may be out of date though. Andy E. A.C.Erskine@lut.ac.uk
