The reason I ask is I had one on a previous fuel injected car and it lunched the engine. What I was told by various LPG fitters was that higher mileage engines couldn't take the extra heat generated by the LPG systems. I understand the LPG systems for engines like mine 3.5 V8 on twin carbs are simpler?
Anyone have any experience good or bad of running LPG on these engines?
I converted a 45,000 mile 3.5V8i Discovery in March 2000, and went on to add a further 45,000 with no problems whatsoever.
I reckon it saved me £30 everytime I filled up, which over the time I ran it on LPG, amounted to around £5000. Not bad for a £1200 gas conversion!
OK, the payback will depend a lot on the number of miles you drive, but as I was driving approximately 1000 miles a month it paid for itself IN A YEAR, and this was at 2000-2004 fuel prices...
Maintenance wise I noticed no difference at all - no overheating, no additional service costs, no problems at all.
I appreciate this may be the exception rather than the rule, and others might have a different experience, but in my opinion it's a no brainer, especially as it arguably makes the vehicle more sellable too.
