Default S60R LPG'ed?

Is it feasible to LPG an S60R?
I was reading that there are different engine mappings depending on the handling selection and wondered if this would rule out LPG.

Thanks

Rob

Ask John or Chris at Autogas 2000, Thirsk. 01845 523 213.

If they don't know then nobody will - they are amongst the best in the business.

Cheers

The S60R can be converted to LPG provided a suitable system is used. A lot of the systems about will not be able to provide sufficent fuel at higher revs and will switch back to petrol.
You need to use a installer who has done one before and knows what parts to use to provide correct fueling both low down at at top end. They will also need to be good at mapping and not an intaller that relies on autocalibration to do teh job for them.

After Lots of researching on if my 245bhp T5 could be converted I found the answer ....

Greenfuel in Bath ....after converted many volvo's and using an S40 as their demo car they had no problems in converting mine over. I did have the optional larger fuel injectors fitted so my BRC system can take 300Bhp (when I tune this year).

My LPG system runs better than the petrol and I have no difference in performance between the two.

Cannot speak highly enough of Greenfuel Bath, I have never used the company before but these guys tech knowledge is excellent and when tuning my T5 got it right first time ...
