chaosego:
is the lpg conversion for diesel discos worth doing any problems ?any one done it ?discuss:

Guardian.:
you want to go and talk to a pro fitter who knows about this conversion, as when i asked my mate (who is the above) he talked me out of it, i cannot remember the ins and outs now, it was something like only mix the propane once running to blend and create cheaper fuel being burned or something like that, and it knackers the engines dead quick.
as i said go ask a knowlegeable (spelt wrong) person before you mes with gas and a derv  engine.
that said theres bound to be some one now go 'i dunit it does 70mpg twice as fast and been like it last 127 years'
seems to be the same as the veg fuel questions lots of conflicting answers.
only thing with gas and derv, play with that and get it wrong, youl need a new truck!

chaosego:
cheers for that i was sort of thinking along the same lines as i do not know any one who has done it. my dads lorry firm had some units which run on natural gas but did not last long before blowing up.stick to derv and a bit of vegie oil in the summer ta glyn.

LPG on a diesel is like fitting NoS to a petrol,gives you a power Boost & also makes it more clean burning

Guardian.:
THAT  is what my man said, along the lines of haulage companies sometimes use it as for what they save on mixing with gas outways the price of an engine over 500,000miles or whatever, but i think im right in saying if your doin it for performance gains (as i was) your engine will go bang very very quickly as redline mike says , it gives mega performance boost. ive done the nitrous years ago in our cozzy, would have put it up against an f1, problem was it went megga bang on A1 after about 1200 miles.
its worth it right upto the point when your bonet has a head poke through it at about 150mph. makes a right old mess i can tell ya.
