LPG

Post by Kevano12 » Wed Jan 09, 2013 10:41 pm

Hi I have been doing some research on LPG my 4.6 is.  Have booked it into a place in portadown at the end of the month.    Had a diesel one before but it would never go over bout 25 mpg so sold it and bought the wife a car but then I bought the big v8 much better than the diesel but now I can't get her out of it and it's to dear for a runaround but hopefully if I LPG it it should make it as easy if not easier on the pocket as a diesel one has anyone any advice bout LPG I am new to it

All you need to worry about is how good it feels to fill up the tank for £50/60 depending on size and how is it possible that "I can't actually tell the difference in performance or running"
Then get it de- catted and wonder how you managed before with such a stifled engine and yes it is quite legal. If it is presented for mot running on gas, that's how it has to be tested and it comes under a different set of emission regulations. Oh and tax is £10 cheaper a year too.
