I had a 4x4 running on LPG and was very happy with it, one word of warning watch your temperature in the hot weather, I used to run on a 50/50 mix of coolant and water. and remember your plugs have to be changed more regulary because of the hotter burn.

P.S Last time I bought LPG it was 37.9p a litre, whats it now ?
Thanks, I think the 75 is 50/50 anyway. Up at BernardLPG's place it was 54.4p. At my local Total it is 58.9p. There are lpg specific plugs now but I will change them regulary. I still have to go back to BernardLPG in 1000 miles or so for a final tweak of the setup. I really want to install a better temp gauge at some point but I need to find someone that can do it for me as I do not know one end of a spanner from another!
