Has anybody had their cars converted to run on LPG or petrol. I was thinking of getting it done and just wandered if anybody had any experiences with it.Any info would be appreciated such as who can do repairs where does the extra tank go etc etc
My car has fuel injetion, i belive that there is a power loss of between 10-30% is this true

Can't give you any technical help Paul but I had a company car a long time ago that was petrol to start it and travel for a couple of minutes then switvh to gas. The gas tank was in the boot. The savings on petrol were absolutely enormous and the gas was cheap. As for power, I am not a fast driver, the legal speed limit is normally good enough for me and the gas provided power enough with some to spare.
The problem over here is that once you convert to gas, they whack a hefty tax on you so you have to do the KMtrs to justify the conversion.
Well worth looking into IMO

Paul all I can tell you that a lot of the police patrol cars here have been converted to run on LPG and petrol. Talking to them they reckon there is no difference in performance, can`t even feel it when they switch from one to another. As Alan said the second tank goes in the boot so you do lose that space. Hope this helps a little.

A few years back I had a Range Rover fitted for LPG and I never really noticed any drop in performance, but I saved a packet on fuel.
