Don't know any good installers in London.

You will need a real time sequential system with high flow injectors high pressure vapouriser and high flow tank valve. Mapping will need to be spot on and the spark plugs will need changing. Also needs a fuel pressure fix.

Hi Dai,
I am happy with the price. What sort of time do you reckon conversion will take? Regards Martin

On fuel injected cars the execess fuel is returned back to the fuel tank.

On a lot of cars now (f@#d based mainly) they have an intelegent fuel pump with a pressure sender on the end of the fuel rail. When you change to LPG the pressure will rise and the ECU will detect the fault. To solve this a return line needs fitting to control the amount of fuel being returned to the tank to keep the flow rate correct. It needs correctly calibraing to prevent the car going into limp mode.
