My LPG (liquefied petrol gas) -powered car / Ma voiture au LPG

[7rolas7]

if you instaled cheap lpg system you will fuck up engine in no time, besides it doesn't have as much torque when you drive on lpg, furthermore lpg makes engine dry and injection pressure is much higher and that will affect your engine. You should drive 2 tanks on lpg and 1 tank of petrol this seduction makes engine lubricated.

That's partially right, in the sense that some engines (gaskets, valves,...) are really sensitive and could be damaged (Ford Focus, Honda, the VVTI Toyotas,...). It's all about metal quality. No worries for mine

wow is a punto GT? with LPG??? nice!! ;)

[meuwis]

Mine is not a GT. There exists a GT version (1.4L Turbo 133hp) but mine is the 1.6L Atmospheric.

Anyone know of a kit to convert a 2002 Chevy Blazer with a 4.3 v-6?

[airportlakesestates]

Its not Liquid Petrol Gas, Its Liquid Propane Gas FYI

[meuwis]

I don't think so, because LPG is composed of Propane AND Butane (at least in my country)

[airportlakesestates]

To my knowledge Butane is not Petrol

[meuwis]

You're right, but we use a wrong translation : In french , "Pétrole" means Oil. Hence the problem !

Hi. You didn`t mention the Gov. subsidy towards conversion costs, somewhere between one and two thousand dollars. It should also be mentioned that LPG prices in Mackay N.Queensland are currently as much as 40% more than in Brisbane. So much for the Feds and the ACCC. Even the RACQ is turning a blind eye.While our illustrious leader fiddles, Rome burns

[meuwis]

You lucky bastard ! No subsidy in my country !

[cCcKaan52cCc]

Jij krijgt zeker subsidie, aangezien je G3 rijd.. ;)

En daarom betaal je ook een heel stuk minder belasting dan G2/G1/LPG.. :)

[meuwis]

Geen subsidies in Belgie sinds 2001. Ik heb 2135€ netto betaald, het was in 2004.

[cCcKaan52cCc]

En ook niet op je belasting?

one questiong why dont we have the lpg conversion in the usa.... what is the reason does anyone know? thanks

[meuwis]

Too powerful gasoline industries & lobbies ! Even your president (future ex-president !) is in the business !

[feetnycam]

can you tell me how much it cost to convert your 1.8 turbo gasoline engine to GPL? where did you locate tank?

[meuwis]

Hi !

It's a 1.6 Atmospheric, not Turbo. It cost 2150 € back in 2004, approx. the same amount in dollars even if the change is really different :-) Anyway, rarely more than 3000 $. If your car is a huge SUV, maybe 4000. Tank is in the trunk, but if you absolutely want space, there are wheel-shaped tanks that fit in the spare wheel space.
