Any chippy, etc will give it to you as they pay to dispose it.![]()
But then you have the hassle of filtering it.

I use new rape seed
(apparently it's thinner) and get it for
£1.20 for 3 litres but use it half n half with diesel.

Yeah it doesn't make sense Garrick, but in my own case the mk1 is everyday transport of preferred choice.So I kinda want to enjoy driving it as much as possible.

Having done over 500 miles on saturday at a cost of
£75+ unleaded, LPG is starting to make sense.

Was that regular unleaded or super?I've started alternating each tank to keep the costs down although it definately feels slightly less powerful running on regular but that could just be my imagination!

It costs more using this type of tank as the usual doughnut tanks cannot be tilted where as the one quote for can be.Obviuosly its bye bye sparewheel however a spacesaver will still fit in front of the tank and as Paul stated an external filler is necessary
- front wing most likely place unfortunately.

For an mr2 theres no need for multipoint lpg or a complicated system at all,they will run happily with a basic single point mixer and a basic lambda control solenoid in situ.With lpg systems like this you are effectively running closed loop all the time but its accurate enough to keep things economical.
