interesting situation ..... NOT .. ??

Yes very interesting indeed. This guy is just passing the blame on to vicroards because they didnt stop himZ

im going into A1 gas on thursday morning so i change put the lsd under my car, so i'll talk to Marco then and see what he thinks of the situation and what can be done if you want?

I would really appreciate that if you can.

Thanks heaps.

no problems. i'll let you know what he says thursday night.

Car should of been signed off wich costs like $1000 pays to research but i wouldnt be using gas if its not rwc could leak.

I just assumed being gas all compliance was a must. I told them at time of purchase i wanted everything 100% legal.

But i like how they put all the blame on vicroads and telling customers to side with them for a law suit.

hey this is a sticky spot. my gas guy is over near me in wandin it might be worth having a chat to him and seeing what they can do, drop me a pm and i can you his number

Pm sent. Thanks for the help fellas.

ok andy at A1 gas said you MUST be registered with the aafrb to be allowed to install gas systems. also on the aafrb website there is a write up about s/e lpg conversions having their registration cancelled in 2011. so they weren't allowed to install systems. he also said you should be able to get your money back off them if you take it through courts etc. he also asked if it was the system that wasnt adr compliant or the way it was installed?

- Successful Outcome in the Supreme Court of Victoria

Media release

On 26 October 2011 the Automotive Alternative Fuels Registration Board (“AAFRB”) was successful in the Supreme Court of Victoria in proceedings commenced by Grazaria Pty Ltd, the owner of the business name South East LPG Conversions (“South East LPG”).

The claim related to a decision taken by AAFRB in December 2010 to reject an application by South East LPG for AAFRB business registration to undertake LPG conversions. That application was made shortly after AAFRB cancelled the registration of a business of the same name and trading from the same premises, at 1/12 Laser Drive, Rowville.

South East LPG’s proceedings attacked AAFRB’s decision, as well as the legality of the registration scheme operated by AAFRB.

In his judgment, Justice Osborn dismissed the proceedings in their entirety and ordered that South East LPG pay the AAFRB’s costs of the proceedings.

Justice Osborn rejected all of the claims brought by South East LPG. Read More

In his judgment, Justice Osborn dismissed the proceedings in their entirety and ordered that South East LPG pay the AAFRB’s costs of the proceedings.

Justice Osborn rejected all of the claims brought by South East LPG. Justice Osborn held that

the scheme by which the AAFRB registers businesses and accredits individuals to undertake LPG conversions is validly established under AAFRB’s Constitution, it Rules and relevant legislation; and

the decision of the AAFRB to reject South East LPG’s application for registration was valid.

Since 1993, the AAFRB has been working to promote the automotive alternative fuels industry in Victoria, and to ensure that LPG, LNG and CNG conversions and repairs in Victoria are carried out safely and in compliance with relevant Australian standards.

The decision is an endorsement of the registration and accreditation schemes operated by AAFRB, and will help ensure that it continues to perform its important role of promoting the industry and supporting public safety.

so how/why were they able to supply the equipment??

i dont know what he was on about with the aafrb being voluntary. andy said you must be registered and licensed with them to be able to install systems. hopefully you get in quick with vcat and you might get your $$ back

so what exactly dosent meet australian standards with the conversion?

The actual kit does not meet the emission standards.
