Gas, no gas!!!!!! (lpg)

[pjdm1980]

Would you like LPG (Vapor Mixer, Vapor Injected or Liquid Injection) on your car or do you think its for cheap skates.
I never would of thought of putting gas on my car til i found i get the same power and great fuel economy plus 80 cents cheaper, but i still hate having those big red LPG signs on my number plate cause you feel like cheap skate!
I've got a feeling it could be a one sided poll!!!

[Simonn]

well apparently the liquid injection is even better than petrol.

[levymetal]

OK so i have a mixer setup on my car, not the best but beats paying for petrol when driving under normal circumstances... switch to petrol when i want to give it some, so no dramas there.

in an ideal world i'd have liquid injection, but it's more suited for newer cars.

now lets see the people who've never tried lpg come in and tell everyone it's shit

[VNexecutive]

i voted vapour injection cos its what i have on my car. the system works well. cant fault it yet. i get roughly 4-600 kms per tank of gas and the same power as petrol. cant complain really.

oh and i like the gas stickers on the plates. people just think you'r cars slow that way.

[Troy5L]

i woulnt put a commo on gas, but on my work ute i got gas, and as i do shitloads of km's it helps the bank abit

[INVSBL]

coming from a buzz box into a emotech, i dont really see the need for going to lpg, its costing me ~$20 bucks more a week as i do freeway nearly all the time. id rather spend that and not lose boot space/power.

[Vee-ard]

I'd Walk and not lose the power.

[padrickz88]

im with levymetal and VNexecutive, gas is win.... i voted for mixer because i have it but id rather have the vapor injection

btw pauly i didn't know you had vapor injection? how much that set you back?

see, you pay $20 more..... I only pay $20 still saving a shitload

The money you save on the cheaper LPG would be reinvested on the installation cost of the LPG system and the reconditioning of your valve seats when you find out they have worn out prematurely due to the extra heat created by LPG. They only system I would ever consider getting would be the factory LPG as fitted to VT's. With that system if you gun it the ecu injects some petrol in to the engine aswell to help protect the valves.

You just contradicted yourself Steve as the Heads are same on factory lpg setups and non setups. If you speak to many head specialist, most will tell you its more to do with the tune you have, not too rich or lean either way, and many dont change them when reco'ing as they claim can cause more issues down the track. My personal opinion is i run a Moreys Lube kit, and if i were to recondition my heads, i would do the seats in any case, but i have spoken to places like Headspec and they are hesitant to replace the seats as the seats are hardened already to run unleaded fuel.

[MikesCalais]

I'm all for gas.... if it comes out of the factory that way... otherwise I'd rather walk

[Leathal11]

i have the ute on gas and cant complain helps when your on an apprentice wage. may take it off once im finished.
As long as you run petrol once a week should be fine and like levymetal said if i want that bit of extra power i just flick it to petrol!

[padrickz88]

as the seats are hardened already to run unleaded fuel.

Exactly, from everything I've read the valve seats are only a problem in older cars that run leaded (pre-86) because they don't have hardened valve seats.

Ever car my family has owned is proof that gas is fine

[shaneomate]

lpg is the way to go mate

[Wherry951]

YES! im the only one who put cant afford to drive on petrol!

This is coz i have no job at the moment and im 17 driving a v6 on holy crap high insurance cruising everyday wasting this fuel - geeze gimme a break

[minircc]

i'd like to use gas, but am afraid to take the leap.
have heard too many conflicting stories.

ok but have you ever had a car with it on?

the vs came out with this system

this is somthing that i know a far bit about if any one has Qs drop us a line

[woodywoodpeckerin02]

i fogot to say i run a 355 twin GRA mixers but would like to run vaper but its to messy i like things neat

[Tom_1569]

Walkings free, and Id make about the same power as being on gas. PETROL FTW!!!

[padrickz88]

@ nearly $7 per 100km's, you can have you petrol

Everyday driving, people cant tell if im driving on gas or petrol, so i dont know why people hate it so much lol

[woodywoodpeckerin02]

too right but the 355 is like 150km round town to the tank i have got 250km on the hway but vsmall tank
about 50L max the one that i pulled out you had truble pulling the spair tyre out

[Troy711]

Liquid injection sounds like the goods.
