Transit van running on lpg

Any thoughts please

Remember its a petrol engine not a diesel so watch the mileage and some people charge an arm and leg to service lpg vehicles. Had a Granada running on both in the 80"s and couldn`t tell any difference when switched to gas performance wise.

To buy one already done, a good idea, to buy one to do , maybe not , depending on your mileage.
my pal has a range rover with the conversion done, he loves it

Check it's installed by a certified installer. And check the certificate.

Used to have one, got it new in 2003. Put 120,000 trouble free miles on it.
Great van but make sure your on LPG as much as possible, it's fooking expensive when switched to petrol.
not as much power when on LPG, or as much torque as a diesel. Also tanks are fitted wher the spare wheel normally is. The spare is fitted to the side, inside the van.
no congestion charge either.

Had a vauxhall combo kept burning the valves had them renewed twice gave up third time it happened. And that was a factory conversion from vauxhall. Only
earned later. They were ****e unless low mileage mine had done about 140k.

If it's got a door decal that looks a bit like a green leaf, it's factory fitted.they will do about 22/25 to the gallon. But as it's nearly half the price of petrol. That's equivalent of 44-50 mpg!

another downside is filling the tanks with LPG can be a bit slow.
