This is an interesting thread...Probably because of the different experiences you guys have had in the past with propane/LPG..
R Pope,,was it dual fuel??and it didnt like running in the cold??Different..mine loves the cold temperatures better than the warm,in fact,its a real hassle when the day is hot..so much so,that I am going to rig up a cold air box and ram air to the carby..Yes,on petrol,my little 302w goes better than LPG,but,I would rather run LPG because of the savings on a trip..so its tuned for LPG..
NTFDAY,,Dont know about you guys,but we have the mother of all inspections,tests down here,,in fact,you can fit your own system,but it has to be tested/checked out by a registered LPG fitter before it can be used..and a yearly warrant of fitness check,[and the tanks are pressure tested every ten years,,just did mine yesterday,,systems all go again.]to make sure everything is hunky dory,,plus,as we have a Warrant of fitness check every 6 months on cars/vans etc over 5 years old,if you dont have a current LPG WOF,you dont get a wof for the vehicle..$150 fine if caught without one..
Dave S..We also ran CNG[compressed natural gas] down here,,has an even higher octane rating,from memory..was dirt cheap,and only did about HALF the distance that LPG or petrol did..in fact,I think it worked better in the tests they did on our aging diesel bus fleet,,although that didnt last long either....Ill stick to what I have got,it works for me..
