Can diesel cars be converted to run on LPG?

The previous approach to diesel conversion was to totally replace diesel with lpg. This did not work very well. We are actively looking into alternative lpg adaptions for diesel engines. Once we have trailed a successful method we will be rolling it out.

Why should I convert?

Everyone loves saving money. Especially saving your hard earned money from the clutches of the Chancellor. With an LPG conversion you can now save over half your fuel costs. As LPG is an environmentally friendly fuel it produces fewer harmful pollutants, furthermore cars running on LPG make less noise. There are further benefits such as lower road tax.

Your car will have reduced engine wear. LPG cars sell for a premium just like diesel they are therefore easier to sell and more likely to hold their value.

My car has engine warranty does installing an LPG kit void this warranty?

Car manufacturers provide cars which run on LPG so voiding the warranty is not because of the technology. Our LPG kits are a proven technology, if installing the LPG kit voids your engine warranty, you can purchase engine warranty cover backed by leading insurance companies..

Are there grants available to help with the cost of my conversion?

Grants are no longer available, but for most motorists this should not make much difference. Until recently the Government/Powershift used to give grants to certain vehicles towards the cost of the conversion. Although this sounded good, because of the strict criteria used, most vehicles were not eligible. Of those that were, the approved LPG systems that had to be used tended to be more expensive to begin with, thus making the savings negligible in many cases. As a rule of thumb, if you drive more than 10,000 miles per year, an LPG conversion will still be very viable.

Is LPG safe to use as a road fuel?

LPG has been used as a fuel in millions of vehicles all over the world. In the UK there are over 100,000 cars running on LPG. LPG is as safe as petrol if not more so for the following reasons:-

• The LPG system and tanks we use are all UK and European LPG standards compliant. These standards include EN 67R01. Furthermore the tanks are tested to extremes of pressure and a test known as the "bonfire" test. This test makes sure that the tanks will not explode but only discharge gas in a controlled manner if the surrounding temperature increases due to fire or any other reason.

  Why should I use your company to convert my car?

  There are a number of reasons why we think we are the right company to convert your car.

  • We have access to professional MOT compliant gas testers and engine management software. We therefore thoroughly check vehicles prior to LPG kit installation. This assures both you and us that the car is ready for LPG installation and makes sure we have a smooth and problem free conversion. Other installers do not go to this expense which leads to problem installations.

  • All our kits carry a two (2) year warranty* against defects. This is a manufacturer backed warranty.
  • We thoroughly test your vehicle once our kit is installed.
  • We have full insurance cover whilst driving your vehicle. Make sure other companies go to this expense to safeguard your vehicle.
    
  • Once tested your vehicle will be issued with a certificate of conformity which most insurance companies expect to see in order to provide cover.

  The older single point injection system (which we do not sell) due to its design had problems such as backfire and performance issues.

  How long does the conversion process take?

  The conversion takes on average a few days. Vehicles such as Limousines will take longer to convert and we will let you know conversion time when you contact us.

  Will I lose boot space?

  Not necessarily, a standard cylinder tank is usually fitted in the boot space but with most vehicles you can opt for a tyre well tank that takes the space of your spare wheel or even an under slung tank providing there is enough ground clearance.

  How will my cars performance be affected?

  All our kits are the latest state of the art Multi Sequential Injection systems. Older systems suffered from power issues at higher revs and when under load. Our Multi Sequential Injection LPG systems behave as closely as possible when compared to the cars petrol injectors. This means that our kits have power as well as economy at vital times such as when the car is under load, or at higher end of the rev range. Your car should not experience any noticeable difference when running on LPG.

  Is LPG widely available?

  LPG is widely available in the UK. All the major petrol retailers such as BP and Texaco as well as the major supermarkets retail LPG. Our system automatically monitors the LPG available in the tank. When the LPG is running low the system will automatically switch to petrol and therefore not allow your car to run "lean" on gas which can damage your car.

  How do I know when the car needs to be refilled with LPG?

  The car will have a fuel indicator for LPG just as in the case for petrol. This LPG fuel indicator is fitted to the dashboard of the car in a position clearly visible to the driver. The indicator consists of a row of LED's that show the current level of gas in the tank. Another yellow light shows that the car is running on petrol which changes to green to show that the car is running on LPG. A button on the indicator allows the driver to manually switch between petrol and LPG.

  Is it possible to fill the tank with the wrong type of fuel?

  This is impossible as the filling point on the car will only accept the LPG hose.
