    Default Monaro on LPG... is it possible?

    I hope this is the right forum.

    I have a V6 VX commodore on LPG, love it!

    My next car is gonna get LPG installed too. I am looking at VZ & VE holdens. BUT, do the VZ/VY model Monaros also take duel fuel conversations?

    A dealer said no, but then again, I take everything a salesperson says with a bucket of salt.

    Twice the bang for the buck maybe??

    If you've invested in a Monaro, get a state-of-the-art Liquid LPG Injection kit. You'll make more power and torque on LPG than on petrol!!!

    Thats right. I like duel fuel, so much cheaper to run.

    So you guys say YES, I is possible?

    Yup.

    Spend the extra on a decent injection system with a toroidal gas cylinder and your mates won't even know it's on gas (except for the red metal tags on the numberplate)...

    Probably best to simply ring a few installers.

    A VY/VZ will likely need to use a type approved conversion (post Dec. 2003 build and conversion date = VZ certainly will).

    There is a list here:

    http://www.lpgautogas.com.au/images/...g%201Nov07.pdf

    but there may have been more conversions approved since. There is no specific listing for the Monaro. That may be a problem since it's a SHED test and changing the tank location may be enough to invalidate it, even if the driveline is the same, but the equivalent Commodores are so...
