SERENISSIMA???

[PaulJ]

Hi has anyone heard of this company as just purchased a car that has this name on the lpg system.
Also does any one know of a good place for a service in the Hitchin Hertfordshire area as there is no paperwork on the system and would like to have it checked befor I use it.

Thank you in advance for any help/info.

I just Googled serenissima lpg and the third link down was to a doc file on the driveLPG site which suggests that our friends at Tinley Tech were the importers. Give them a call, they are very helpful and not actually that far from you.

Yes ! I used to buy from them a lot many moons ago. So my guess is it's an old single point system. They used to buy a lot from VIP and re label them with their own company name. In Italy you have to have a system that is all made by the same manufacturer. That's why you see a leonardo, allessi regal, bigas pegaso etc are the same ecu made by aeb. Nothing much changes, Romano,omvl,bigas etc are all the same made by aeb. I believe they folded some time ago. And I am talking a good while.
Wouldn't happen to have a strange looking reducer made by Marini would it ? Bless them, they where lovely blokes, fabio and fernando as I remember. Yeh give Tinley tech a ring. Or pm me and I can give you the number for someone who can check
It over for you. He will laugh his head off while he is doing it though !!

Thank you for the replys, I have spoke to tinley and they have sent me a number of a person to look over it.
I am away at the momonet but will have a better look at it on Saturday as was told it was only 2 years old and multi point so will let you all know what I find as it sounds like it may need updating.

Lol !!! I bet that's the same person I'm thinking of !! I'm laughing just thinking about. So a quick bit of googling and it looks like they may be involved with LOVATO these days.

Im scared to look know.... Is there any way to date a system as if this is old I will have parts replaced as been told they dont last more that 5 years???

[Tubbs]

Not really true, the gas tank should be changed after 10 years. I have a lwb shogun that was converted well over 10 years ago. Same reducer, mixer, front end. And it's still absolutely fine.
You can have a look at the tank to get an idea of the date. It's on the data plate.

I had a chat with a mate of mine today who reckons that the first gen gas injection kits that where produced by bigas they also used to re badge with their own company sticker, so it may well be a multipoint one. Have a look and see if it has a vacuum pipe going into the ecu.

Just as a follow up, I was today playing with an old "Serenissima" injection system - actually a badged Bigas (pre-N) SGIS. Even the Bigas software works fine.

Yeh that will be the old bigas with the serenissima label over the top then !
