    VE SS ute on LPG?

    No I meant this in a motor sense that is in a forklift they run straight propane to reduce the carbon monoxide emissions because of the fact that they normally run in a shed so basically in a confined space. As I implied I’m taking a back foot and instead of being a tool and inflicting my...

    i agree with you there i used to own a worked v8 years ago before i had kids and bills etc that wasn't my point what was said was that converting to L.P.G. is a pointless waist of money if you set a decent system up its worth doing indeed and you have no loss of power "IF ITS A DECENT SYSTEM"...

    VE SS ute on LPG?

    Me i honestly dont care who runs what but with the new gas systems (injection systems) you will get the same grunt from any motor as long as you get a decent installer to fit the system the same way as you would get a decent macanic to do internal mods to your motor you wouldn't trust that to...

    HMM playing dumb or not emissions are also relevant to the mix that the producers of the L.P.G. make to break it down there is a lot more in the gas but putting it simply the AUTO MIX is basically a propane and butane mix the butane is the crap that lowers the octane rating of gas and produces...

    G'day not even i would say thhat the power on LPG vapour injection would increase power but i will say if you program the andgas computer and get a decent system you wont loose any power either, the next generation of LPG injection thats not far away WILL push more power out of your motor that...
