Why is it weird? You can convert most diesel to duel fuel it's just a lot more expensive than converting a petrol. LPG is 52p a litre here, diesel is £1.27. A big saving if you're doing a lot of miles.
 
Hi, Does anyone know if there are any specific modifications required to timing etc due to burning Gas as opposed to Diesel on a 200 series engine?
 
Nup, so long as you have a knock (Spontaneous pre-ignition) sensor for your ECU then you need make no changes to run different fuels, just like running high octane. If you were to use a high octane petrol in a spark ignition engine that usually runs on 95 RON, the knock sensor will change the ignition timing, however if you don't have a sensor, it won't and you will see no improvement from the fuel! So chavs who say they got 140 mph from their 1.1 saxo running AVGAS are loiying bastids :D
 
Well it seems that you can only recoup the costs if you are a high miler. Pumping around the town makes it expensive as nothing is saved. Probably better to chuck out ya doesel and lob in a 4Ltr convertad to gas. Ita amazing that here in the middle east i can fill up my Toyota 4.2 petrol for the equqivalent of a fiver?? There's no justice in the world..:cool:
