I have seen one V6 with LPG and that was at last years CCC National. I recall it was a proper multi-point installation and extremely neat.

It has to be a good idea.

Its something I've been considering doing also. I would like to see a V6 with a multipoint system before I start, as cant imagine where one could fit the components.
I hope this V6 you speak of Jim is at the CCC National this year.

For Kit I know of these guys.

i saw a 406 on ebay with a multipoint. thanks for the link.

i think its one of the big suppliers that has almost flush fit injectors that would fit in there, been some months since i found it not coming up on google now.

Ive seen the Xantia V6 engine in the XM with a multipoint kit on it...(1997 R reg)

Ive drive 43k in my V6 PRV XM on a single point LPG kit and loved every minute of it...

Im hoping to put a spare single point kit Ive got here on my V6 when I get it.. OR buy another two Gas injectors and possibly put my 4 cylinder LPG kit on to my V6... not 100 Per cent sure...

The 1993 XM, PRV V6 12v, auto, has got an OMVL single point system on it! The evaporator is due a desperate service as its making the car run VERY rich and use a lot of Gas..

Im uncertain of the Spare single point kit, Ive not really looked to hard at it, all I know is it works..

The multipoint injection kit is currently on my 2.oi turbo XM, but ive sold the car, however, the buyer is not bothered about LPG, and is happy for me to remove the kit.. its an italian one but at this moment I cannot for the life of me think of the name!

The Xant should be better with a multipoint injection kit, however, the single point is easyer to fit...

OMVL, i think they do some flat injectors for multi point, i need to look into their dream kit again

italian kit sounds familiar, think i read about one on the net being installed, but OMVL seems to have a good rep, probably what i will go for

Let us know if you find a decent DIY kit, the only place I've found so far is Tinley tech. I'm not saying their not decent, but a little competition is always good.
