Eeyore:
I have a friend that was in that line of business for a while.

They took a 98 bhp Sprinter van up to 180 bhp using LPG. :shock:

I suspect we all would like the sound of that!

No more problems with junctions, or hills  :D  (or at the end of my road - a junction on a hill! :lol: )

having read all sorts of articles, and spoke to several retailers, it looks like a good idea. what they say is that the extra lpg (about 10% in relation to the diesel) is ignited by the diesel burning, but then the LPG causes more of the diesel to be burnt (older diesels only burn about 70% of what goes through the injector)
this then gives a much better burn, and so more power.
the fuel savings come from the bigger bang causing you to need less right foot to get the same power output from the engine.
anything up to 30% total fuel savings is possible.

as for LPG stations, i drive past 1 every day :)
and i know of another 4 not far from where i live :D
