FL1 gas bi fuel

Hey, I have just bought a Hippo FL1 which is bi fuel gas and petrol. Any suggestions for insurance? TIA. Colin, Milton Keynes

You could try normal insurance companies, and if those can't help, then an insurance specialist like Adrian Flux should be able to help. I suspect the insurance will cost more than a normal FL1, and unless it has all its installation and gas test certificates, it might be uninsurable.
I'm assuming it's LPG converted? It might even be worth taking the LPG kit out, especially as LPG is now being phased out as a road fuel.

Shame about that, LPG was the only best thing I had, when I drove my V8. Insurance wise they accepted as modification with the certificate. Only issue are finding garages capable of servicing both fuel sources.

Yes it is a shame. When the wife's car was in for repair last year, we were given a Dacia which was bi-fuel. I would have had to drive a 100 mile round trip to find an LPG supplier, which I did, combining it with a day out. I put in 40 L of LPG for £18, which was very reasonable, especially as the car did over 300 miles on those 40 L of LPG.
I'm sure I've read somewhere that at the end of this year, LPG will be withdrawn as an authorised road vehicle fuel, which means it'll disappear completely.
