I am interested in doing a LPG conversion on my 3.2 V6...
has anybody done it?
Few questions -
- Cost?
- Results?
- Power changes?
- all information about the conversion
Cheers all !!
I doubt it would take you long to get your money back on the conversion, but why buy a 3.2 and worry about fuel consumption?
Old systems can have leaks so its worth factoring a yearly check or a decent warranty as previously mentioned, you may need to inform insurance company but you get to keep a nice car and diesel noise is not for everyone. I worked for BOC for years who supply gas and the boys were doing diy kits themselves over 30 years ago but I wouldnt reccomend that! And dont forget you will have a bit of an ugly lpg cap on the side of your pride and joy.
It's also far cheaper on the continent - 0% duty in most of Europe.

Putting LPG on a 3.2 V6 is like going to a brothel and asking for a kiss..
LOLLL i like the comparison!!
but seriously guys, in hindsight, yes or no? Financially speaking ... is it worth it?
Honestly i said the comment as a bit of banter, dont take it personally.
If you are struggling to sell the car for the money you want for it, re consider it.
The cost of LPG is around circa 800-900+, Would you actually make a saving in petrol prices for maybe a year or two before you decide to sell it again. It may be worth accepting around £1000 less and getting yourself something newer, different and a turbo engine to satisfy your needs.
I had a friend who did an LPG conversion on his BMW, i was like WOW this is epic very cheap to run. He got bored of the car after a couple of months and sold up. Just made me think what was the point of converting it? Do you do enough miles to warrant the LPG and will you have the car long enough?
I know people running it on some cars like an xjr, v8 Range, B5 s4 and all are very happy..
wont belong before the cylinder liners drop on the range rover then,
