This has already been overcome by Prins for some manufacturers like Audi and even GM direct injection engine, they do a direct injection lpg liquid system which uses the cars original fuel injectors, does away with the inefficient vapour systems currently in use think its called liquigas V2 or something similar.

I am aware of that, but have yet to see a successful install in the UK. And current prices are .. lets say not really affordable.

Other issues:
-No V8 version available so far, so supercharged Range Rovers and the like are not convertible.
-Most systems are manufacturer specific, so one size doesnt fit all, like they currently do.
-As far as I can make out, the systems need to inject a small amount of petrol to keep the injectors from getting damaged. So the so called current saving of LPG will diminish.

...and one has to wonder, given this huge list of dislikes D has for LPG, why he chose to get his own omega converted to gas? The big Mary. ;D

It was an experiment, on a very cheap car. I did not have much to loose if it all went t**s up!

Dont get me wrong, I enjoy the cheap motoring. But it has not been without its issues and I am not sure if I will convert my next car to run on LPG.
