    There is so much wrong with the statement "use on my car which is just fuel".

    cos gas isnt a fuel at all...

    Anyway, a duel fuel might have different heads, springs or valves. usually run a different gap spark plug and bigger leads.

    Thanks about it.

    When people convert to LPG generally its just the LPG gear that is fitted. The engine itself remains untouched.

    You won't be able to use the cylinder heads or valves because they'll be stuffed on a gas powered V6...

    But seriously, not much is changed apart from the gas system itself being fitted as NAAF said. However, I will stand by my first statement, even though it was a bit tongue in cheek.

    plugs are normally changed then everything that is added for lpg which is obvious to see on motor
    just remember back then lpg still ate valve seats so if your gonna use heads ecpect valves to be shaggeded
