Monaro on LPG... is it possible?

anonymousmoose · #1 13-08-2008, 01:57 PM

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)...

There's a guy in ballarat that has a monaro on gas, he does the conversions up there but his name escapes me atm.

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:

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...
