    Ok so I'm making some progress, I had a chance to take a few measuraments today, one thing I have been wrapping my head arround is the injector wireing, this company makes several piggyback harnesses, and in princypal it's simple one can cut and solder, not that big of a deal, I checked the polarity on mine, but my connectors look nothing like the ones pictured in their istructions, actualy on second thought they apear upside down, with the clip to the side and I was expecting that, the one post on this site does not mention anything about that, thou there's a couple of members with conversions on there, minor detail I guess, neither anywhere else I look, all the you tube videos focus on the gas system, show nothing about integrating into the vehicle, injectors, obd, sensors, guess its best to just solder them in,
    anywho, I'm hopping one of yous has a clue about those injectors/connectors, toyota part numbers may help. I never looked up stuff like that,

    I could use some advice/ confirmation the prius uses the CAN network, I pretty much confirmed that earlier, however I plugged my fancy tester in today and while it recognises the car down to the vin number, I could not come across anything like conection type as the instuctions in the wireing pdf I have, I'm pretty sure my prius is no different than any second gen, they all use CAN, and I believe thats what those instructions reffer to as CAN as well, if any other users here are familiar I would apreciate if you had a look at that pdf and throw in your 2 cents

    Wait.. the kit doesn't come with the correct injectors or any direction of what kind to use? :confused:

    Still don't see how 'module' will work foolin the oem ECM plugging only into the OBDII port. I want to see a ECM pin out for the Prius..

    look at the files I posted, especialy the wireing diagram, it intercepts the gasoline injector signal, decides weather to let it run through and run gas or divert it to the lpg injectors with proper adjustments, it also taps into several other sensors and it has some of its own, this is just an example but they are all simmilar some fancier than others, I'm sure there are more instructions with the package, this company even has a video, thou it focuses on the plumbing, stag of poland has some teck manuals posted too, also check the other post on here, by user Mandrei83 i think, not sure on the numbers,

    injectors not instructions, sorry it comes with injectors, you need a harness to plug in your old ones into their system as well as oem signal into the aftermarket computer, not all injector plugs are the same, you got to pick the right one or solder conections

    found another site Autogas Italia s.r.l. Pagina CO2 has a savings calculator, its metric but if I did not screw up the math shows $756/ year on gas, $535 propane, $221 savings, thats 10k@50mpg thats 200 galons@$3.78, so [email protected] 141 egalons, is 71mpge by cost, mind you at our cost and minimal price difference, figure it out in uk pounds/galon I thought it would be less but their formulas may differ, so far other than the company I mentioned haven't got much luck with others, they don't seem end user friendly, some shops I came across uk websites have kits and components for sale, but there are so many different names and very little description, any sistem would work on the 76 hp prius, thou they are rather different in the way they do, I guess in europe brands say a lot as people are familiar with them, I pocked on some uk lpg forums for some input, so far the outfit I've been talking to apears to be more like a distribuitor, the computers are made by AEB, injectors and hardware by a different company, tanks by stako, several brands and sizes of vaporisers, reducers, injector option, yet they sell them by the pallet, I called them this morning but I am told the guy I've been in touch with wont be back till monday, I'll have to do something else to stay occupied till then.
