TBH it's not really worth the effort fitting LPG to a UK car unless you do mega mileage per year as the saving is very small. To put it into perspective, on my V6 it was about 8K miles for payback on a DIY kit... On a diesel conversion it would be about 40K miles as it cannot be used as the sole fuel!

Thanks omegatoy.

Its not only the savings that interests me, its the HP gain and that you got a clean long lasting engine.
When thats said, ime having a mileage that will save in that system wery quick.

Diesel can be run with a percentage of propane - diesel still needed to lube the pumps though.

yup!! it also allows the diesel to be burnt almost completely as opposed to around 90percent, does make a hell of a difference to it, drove a 38ton artic with an lpgsystem fitted,it simply flew up hills, and the owner reckons on his three trucks fitted with lpg he saves 78000 pounds a year on fuel :y
