LPG conversions

My local LR garage quote £1200 ex vat with a tank in the boot for a P38a.

1) Depends on where the tank(s) go 2) What kind of system is fitted

Get your quotes - and get people to specify exactly what they will be fitting, then ask in uk.rec.cars.fuel.lpg as to which is the best deal.

The answer is anything between about 1,000 and 3,000 quid depending on the tank arrangement and quality of components involved. Mine was around 2,500 for dual tanks and engine rechipping.

Ask lots of questions about exactly what they're doing and any expected differences in the conversion. Cheaper conversions will not involve an engine rechip which could result in poor performance.

The best quality conversions, and the most expensive, are direct injection conversions where a second set of injectors are fitted for the LPG rather than relying on mixing the gas with the inlet air.

Lots more detailed answers over on uk.rec.cars.fuel.lpg.

though the main objection to that is with plastic manifolds and expensive airflow meters, both of which suffer if it backfires.

The actual mixing process works pretty well, as you're not trying to create and aerosol of petrol in air, but mixing 2 gases.
