Why bother converting this size of car, the breakeven point will be beyond
the life of the car! I comment as a driver of a 1996 3947cc Discovery LPG
since March 1999, 127k later and the engine oil still comes out clear at a
service change, and the heads have never been off, and it has the original
cam shaft. Land Rover camshafts need to be changed at 60k, but with no fuel
contamination of engine oil, the mechanicals last longer. So why the the
third party oil lube system, LPG does the job?
Nice little car , But 1 serious flaw regarding the LPG conversion. I
certainly wouldn't have the LPG filler located on the rear bumper like
that. That's the 1st crunch zone in the most common impact area impact.
Making a simple replacement bumper a nightmare after an accident. Also a
great risk ov the LPG escaping through a crushed / Damaged filler. A sort
of Mini-Hindenburg in my opinion This would be better fitted to the side
panel around the rear light cluster out of harm's way.
I've been running lpg on my 6 cylinder Ford for 3 years, 60 litre tank will
do 500km for $40 fillup, there is no drop in performance or mechanical
problems, in Australia the govt. subsidised private vehicles to $2000 for a
fitout, out of pocket expenses $700. have a switch for lpg or petrol. All
taxis in Australia run on lpg and most buses also, makes sense.
Hello Jonathan, I have a Toyota Yaris D4D TR got it on November 2009 , runs
on diesel, This is my first car and I wonder if I can do this fitting of
LPG, How much is it? Will I lose my year warranty or any warranty with
toyota? Thank you!
@burkezillar Still a 61p difference may equal out the lower milage of the
LPG, i suppose both work though! I like the 107, havent been on one on the
road yet, but the engine sounds very nice revvved at a stand still, sporty
too!
260 miles on a full tank of LPG? That doesnt seem to be great at all,
compared to a full tank of petrol in my 107 that can do 430 miles. When you
were working the MPG out were you driving it like Nigel Mansell or
something? lol
what hapens when someone crashes you from behind? and what about high
temperatures over 50 C during the summer when the car is parked under the
sun for a lot of hours? is it the same thing as having a normal tank ?

@jonathanecoman not true, there is a charged system available for diesel
engines, using a mix of 30% diesel and 70% LPG, and the good news is the
power output of the diesel engine is improved by 20%+
With the current systems such as Liquid Injection and Vapour Injection, rkw
loss is only about 5rkw! The old mixer/mixer ring setups are known to lose
upto 30%, so stay away from the old systems. :)
i got a Toyota Aygo and I live in Holland so i dont pay road taxes. I have
the car since end october 2009. I bought it new and i stil think its a
fantastic car. Linda from humansponsors . com
looks like great value against the current prices of diesel and petrol, but
are there any downsides to running on LPG i.e. reduced performance, greater
servicing requirements?
This is very descriptive video. London is one of the great market for the.
The business of lpg is very attractive here in UK.
