converting my 10 years diesel van in LPG?

Amazin

I do about 7000 miles per year at max and I'm a window cleaner. It will cost around £1800 I reckon assuming everything goes well. :eek:

I know there are few cowboy installers out there.

I also did some research about LPG conversions in general, responses seems to be very mixed.

Why? At 7000 miles per year a petrol van makes more sense.

You will find it very difficult to locate an installer prepared to do a diesel additive conversion. It's extremely niche, and very hard to tune. Not even close to worth doing at that mileage, it'd take you about 20 years to recoup the outlay - and diesel/additive LPG installations don't save much fuel anyway, their big benefit is in power output. You could probably have the van mapped to produce more power if that was what you wanted to achieve.

Just don't bother.

With a petrol engine you replace the diesel with LPG, si it runs on pure LPG when required. So the savings after paying for the conversion is the price difference between the 2 fuels. Half price LPG then you ha;ved the runnin costs.

With Diesel LPG you still run it on diesel as well as the LPG. Coul can get a bit more power OR a bit better fuel economy.

If your going to do 300,000 miles then its worth it. Otherwise its expensive and you can get better results by buying something that does more MPG.

What makes you think spending whay seems to be a disproportionate sum of money on this relative to the mileage you do, age of van and savings offered is a good idea?
