LPG conversion complete.
« on: 26 June 2008, 19:10:20 »
Worked first time, seems to run like a song on LPG. Just about to give it a run and set the fuel mapping.

Bit busy right now, and need to get to Cardiff (on LPG!) but I'll post up an update hopefully later  :y

Well done. That kit does seem to just plug and play on 4 pots. I bet you'll find it barely needs any mapping either.

I must admit to not having mapped it yet but it is going surprisingly well.

I only got 21mpg on a run though which I think is a tad low - so I will be looking at the various values to try and improve this.

Ultimately I still travelled 90 miles on under £10 so it's still a big improvement on petrol costs!

fuel consumption sounds about right for a freshly converted motor James, wheb the engine is fully scoured and clean/used to the gas it will improve!!!! :y
