Hi, I am going to be moving back to Canada in a few months, and with Premium Petrol at 83 cents a litre, vs. about 46 cents for Propane, I started looking into the propane conversion kits. I have found several UK sites that sell the conversion kit, does anyone know of any US or Canadian retailers that do? Anyone have any experience with the conversions? I know you lose some performance, etc., but I figure for driving to work, I don't need to get there faster anyway--and when I need the performance, I can run premium petrol. Thanks, |

i have not seen any LP conversion kits specifically for LR's but they are around. I own a plow truck that was purchased from a defunked gas distributor.. it runs on a 40 gallon LP tank in the rear bed.. this thing is bullet proof.. it starts up on 2 seconds of cranking no matter how long it has sat... with tank and manifold should cost you about $1500... call any large LP company and they can probably point you in the direction of a distributor to purchase it.. they will probably even be able to install it for you. |

The propane is really good at keeping your engine clean so if you are going to keep your car for a while its a good thing to use. you just loose power and mileage with it. I used to work for a propane company suburban propane and I filled tons of trucks with propane burning engines some had 250 gallon tanks that would go for 500 or so miles before needing to be filled |

Thanks for everyones response. Does anyone know if the ECU has to be re-chipped in order to run the dual fuel system? |
