Yeah, did lots of research into installers and I found some real horror stories. Especially the chap on this forum who has his experience on his website! (Martin Imber?)

The car does run well on LPG, which I am pleased about. I'll get the other bits sorted.

I would be really interested to have a local member check out the mapping.

I take it running lean is bad? Certainly on petrol it makes an engine run hotter doesn't it. I assume a similar result with gas?

Once I get some 0-60 and 50-70 times, I'll be in a better position to see if it is slower. The only time I thought I noticed was on a dual carriage way and I accelerated hard to 80 for an overtake and I wanted it to get there quicker, but it may well have been my imagination.

Just need to find a quiet road now. They are few and far between these days!


Hot engine is the least of your worries  ;) ;)
I'd be more worried about melting my piston crowns  :'(

Chuffed its working ok.
Now you can enjoy half price fuel  :D

Cheers.

I saved 25 quid last week.

And I feel no guilt from putting my foot down either. I can no longer hear that little wheezing scream coming from my wallet when I do!

Yes that's the "problem" with LPG, if that's a problem at all, in that feet get heavy.

But then, that's what the General intended.  :y

Whilst I can't say I drive any harder (or slower) on LPG, you do lose the worry that you're drinking petrol. At 74.9p (around here), who gives a damn ;)

Scary thing is, I can remember when bloody petrol was that price. And I'm only 39.

Seemed expensive even then though.

I can remember when it was 50p per gallon in the mid 70,s. It hit £1 per gallon around 1979 and everyone thought it was the end of modern civilisation. ::)
