The HambleMEGS (Hamble Marine Engine Gas System) Equipment
The HambleMEGS equipment available exclusively from HambleMEGS appointed conversion specialists has been developed over the years to become a leader in its field. Hamble Marine is now the UK's largest specialist supplier of marine engine conversion kits and parts. The HambleMEGS equipment offers the following benefits:
- Save over 65% on running costs by converting to Marine Gas
Running on Marine Gas gives comparable performance to petrol.
Reliable technology - the HambleMEGS/MGS system is a tried-and-tested system. Improvements and developments over 10 years have resulted in an easy, safe and very effective system. The LPG systems we fit can provide hundreds of hours of operation.
- A dual-fuel engine means easy switching from Marine Gas to petrol; as the petrol fuel system is retained, the cruising range is greatly extended and switching between fuel systems is accomplished by a simple change-over switch mounted at the helm.
Most 4-stroke petrol in-board engines can be converted.
With a 60% cut in fuel bills, the cost of conversion can be recouped in around 100 hours.
A Marine Gas conversion is a 1/4 of the cost of a diesel re-engine**
The electronic management system constantly monitors the engine bay and fuel storage tank areas for any leaks and will shut down the system before they reach a dangerous level.
- Cleaner running; exhaust fumes and smoke are substantially reduced; better for the environment (our system appears in the Green Directory)
We only use parts and components from world-leaders in LPG technology.
- Small parts (clips, screws etc) are specified as stainless steel where ever possible.
- Once the installation is completed, no further specialised adjustments or servicing are required except for an annual safety inspection and test by our engineers.
Our installations are carried out in accordance with the relevant Code of Practice issued by the LP Gas Association.
All our installers are boat engine specialists.
The equipment is also distributed under the "MGS" name, now known as Marine Gas Supplies.
National service available at local level - from Essex & Kent to Devon & Cornwall you are probably within 50 miles of one of our Registered Installers.
An initial survey is carried out to investigate feasibility and possible location of major items such as fuel tank, vapouriser and the LPG filler fitting.
Discussion with Customer of findings from initial survey and agreement on price and date of installation.
Fitting by trained and competent specialist engineers who, on completion, will fully test the engine management and alarm systems.
Further safety and engine check 4 weeks after installation.
** Based on 60% cut in fuel bills. The cost of conversion (from £3,000 for a single engine) can be recouped in 100 hours.
* Cost of LPG is 45p/lit. Marina petrol prices vary across the country but are typically £1.15p/lit.
