LPG conversion!?

[wingnut_MMC]

ive got a 1988 2.6 swb shogun with a gas conversion, ive only had it 2 days, and ive heard so many stories about gas, some good some bad.

what are your views on this? :?:

If its got a certificate no worries, but if not, get it serviced/checked out asap, could go bang! not trying to worry you at all!  8)

haven't got gas on mine ( but will!) brother has it on his caravelle.

Few things to remember

1. You have single point and multi point. Multi is better in economy and power but costs more

2. mpg will be similar if not wrose than petrol but it cost have the price so you are doing double...make sense?

3. Get one will in line oiler to keep the head lubed up as gas is dry.

4. You will get emulsified oil....the white stuff you look for in oil to see if head is leaking...its not that though, gas burns hotter than petrol and hence you get condensation...just do more frequent oil changes.

5. economy will rise in winter and drop in the summer due to outside temperatures, you may even get a whif of gas if its internal tank in summer. Quite normal!

Apart from that all cool! Just done cornwall to gatwick and back again in  a 20mpg van for 30 quid!

i went over to where thw conversion got done today and they gave it a clean bill of health, so i went out and put a bit of gas in it and its brilliant!

it ran 100% better, pulled better, excellent fuel economy, seemed quieter and no smell of exhaust fues at all.



well pleased! :lol:
