Have a Google around, there you should find a decent site somewhere telling
you how to connect it all up.

I've just realised that I missed of the electric bits, you should have some
sort of changeover switch in there somewhere, to tell the system when to run
on gas and when to run on petrol.

Most parts should interchange readily enough, but by the sound of the bits
you have missing, and due to the fact that you are relatively inexperienced
in LPGery, you may be better off sticking what you have back on Ebay, and
getting a complete UK kit, with instructions and hopefully telephone help if
you get stuck.
