Ok you know the LPG doors on some Conversion J's?
Well im looking for either the actual door for a sunfire or a pic of its hinge mechanism, and how it clears the rear tail lights.
Im sure someone has a pic somewhere.
and help will be greatly appreciated.
please enlighten me, i have absolutely no clue what an LPG door is, or at least don't think i do
thanks
LPG, or Liquid Petroliem Gas.
GM has a part # for it, but my dealer has been unable to get the part.
The LPG door is the rear driver side filler plate just under the tail lights thats hinged, and behind it is the inlet for fuel like natural gas, methane, of propane.
I can't find the picture, but there's different sheet metal under the taillight you would have to weld in. Where you'd find that, I have no idea. It hasn't been available as a separate part from GM since (at least) 2001, when I tried to order that same door.
will one of you please explain to 90 percent of us what the hell you are talking about!
i am soooo lost
Heh heh... the suspense is killing you, eh?
OK, i feel liek fillign everyone in. what he is talking about is the CNG(commercial natural gas) Cavaliers. Yes it only came in cavies and yes cng is teh official term. it was a special package for fleet vehicles(i.e. campus patrol cars). Where can you get teh filelr plate. no idea

damn. thanks anyway, ill keep looking, maybe ill finnaly get lucky at a junk yard.
now that i know what the hell you guys were talking aboot, weren't those cars all destroyed< or am i thinking of something else?
thought it had something to do with leases and GM being generally stupid.
on a side note, we have guys and gals here who have done what others said were not possible so i'm sure you would be able to fab something up if needed, how bad do you want it?
Well, it would make things much easier to have it.
Thanks for the pic, price is a little more then i wish to pay.
Current bid: US $3,076.00
Buy it now price: US $6,500.00
thats for the whole car lol... DO IT DO IT
that would be pretty cool to see someone relocate the gas tank cap to that location and shave the gas tank door. one prob, where the deuce do you find the filler plate?!

Actaully sergei, i already have the gas door shaved, well almost. When i get it back from shop ill save up a few more beans and get the door removed. My gas filler has been behing the passanger side tail light for over 8 months.

thats awesome, i've always liked the look of a smooth exterior. not enough money to do anything right now (college+going out+random spending sprees) but i'd like to start playing with the car once i prioritize my spending and get more money heading my way. Any pictures of the relocated gas filler? i couldnt find any in the registry.
oh yea... you like "lawn mower racing"? nice.
