LPG Certificate required for insurance/ MOT?

I have been running LPG cars for over 10 years now, always declared when insuring, but never been asked for a certificate. Definitely don't need it for an MOT. I don't actually think a certificate is given to new conversions these days, I believe a data-base exists which details are logged ... I am sure someone will come along and say otherwise.

Either way you can take your existing LPG car along to any reputable speciailist for a safety approval check, and details to be entered.

When I recently sold my LPG car the buyer said there were new rules coming into force so it might be worth a Google.

IIRC it was to do with checking / servicing the system and that the tanks have "expiry dates" to have them rechecked is costly so I think they have to be replaced - every 10 yrs IIRC.

But I've run them for years with no issues so far.

The only thing I can think of that would require the LPG certificate, is if you want to register your vehicle for exemption from the London congestion charge. This may also apply to other cities with a congestion charge.

Had to send a copy of the certificate to my insurance company

It's to demonstrate it's been fitted to the approved standard that's all. To them that means it's not going to go up in flames and result in a claim after a dodgy DIY install.

It also covers them because if it goes up in flames and takes out someone elses garage - if it has a cert then they aren't liable.

Don't ask how I know this - but it wasn't my car that caught fire.
