  • Great work but i have a Q: does it still inject oil when running on LPG? I mean, LPG doesn't disolves the oil right? Thx.

  • @Spraakgebrek hiya, yes the oil is still injected in the same way. It's lubrication properties are probably even better than when running on petrol to be honest as it's not getting washed away :-)

  • great video mate ive also got lpg on my e39 530 m sport and its nice to see someone being honest about how many miles they get from there lpg tank what litre is your engine?

  • I thought propane offered a higher octane. Would this not increase power by 10% not a loss? Just wondered because many guys doing hill climb use propane as a fuel additive to make more power. Very curious. Cool fuel system I must say tho!

  • It's now gone over the 100000 mile mark.

  • i want to ask you a question ...have it lost any of its power?is speed the same?

  • @PanosArrogant the same.. lpg spend more but petrol is expensive... lpg is saving your money

  • @PanosArrogant Hi, there is a slight reduction in power, i would say maybe 10%. But this is pretty much unoticable when cruising on the motorway, If you need the full power you can switch immediately to petrol.

  • hey friend...very nice video...o would like to ask something about the rx8...i want to buy an rx8 but i listen that this car has to many problems because the engine is Wankel....is this real???its consuming very much petrol and oil?and last question i would like to convert it to lpg...where i can order the parts??? because the most of the people says that is difficult to convert it and it is dangerous...and nobody does it...please answer me...thank you!!!!

  • Hi,an RX8 does not use huge amounts of oil as many people will tell you. Rotary engines are designed to burn oil with the fuel but the quantities are not excessive.Fuel on the other hand it does use a lot of,hence the reason for converting.The main cause for engine problems on an RX8 are the coil packs,these are generally only good for 30,000 or so miles.When they fail, the unburned fuel causes damage to the engine and Cat. An RX8 treated well will last well.Get a compression test before buying.

  • @djphilmanns thank you very much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • hi, really nice video! though i have a question. there is a little sound differenct when you turn your petrol off en run on gas the kind of tikking sound ? what is that ?:P

    and how was your oil ussage ?

  • @Quintentjuh Hi, it's just the sound of the injectors, oil consumption hasn't changed, it's never used excessive amounts, despite the fact that many people think that RX8's do :-)

  • Great video, good to see success from the conversion. Im in glasgow, just wondering how much the conversion cost?

  • @anasgtr Hi, it cost £2200 which is on the high side for LPG conversions, but there's not many people out there who know what they're doing with regards to converting the RX8. The car covered 35000 miles last year and the savings from using LPG were over £4000! Cheers.

  • @djphilmanns Can you tell me, how big is the difference in performance-acceleration and fuel consumption between petrol and LPG?

  • @peralozac2000 Hi, the MPG on LPG is around 17-18MPG, it holds 40 litres of LPG which gives 150 miles. There is a mild reduction in power on gas, but only really noticable if you're really going for it, and in these circumstances you can switch to petrol instantly if required.

  • nice job. with petrol how was your milage? it is less fast i guess..i want to know how much gas it consume and how much petrol before? sorry for my english

  • ac stag software have a chek for wankel engine...

  • Nice one mate thanks for the video because there are a lot of people out there being sceptical for this conversion..

  • @ROTARYBIZNESS Indeed, I've had many people trying to tell me it'll ruin the engine but with it now at 100,000 miles i somewhat disagree! Cheers.
