Has anyone done a LPG conversion on a 2.8 v6 engine? Is it easy and what would I need? Thanks

 

Iv found a tank to go in spare wheel

 

I think the question you should ask yourself is,

1. is it worth it.
2. will you ever do enough miles to regain whats been spent on the conversion

 

the 2.8 can be converted quite easily but you do need to do some wiring into the harness. te 2.9 on the other hand does not convert well at all
if you need advice where to look then pm me for details

 

It's for a friend. An will be getting second hand parts hopefully and at the moment he's doing 20-25 a day on fuel.

 

you will need at very least a petrol stop solenoid, a gas air mixer a vapouriser a safety solenoid/filter all new copper 6mm pipework to lpga cop11 standard a filling valve and either 8mm copper piping or hyraulic lpg hose inc fittings 2 heater hose t pieces inc jubilees etc some heater hose and some lpg hose to go from the vap to the mixer. if you want a slightly better kit then you want to fit a lambda control system to monitor and adjust the fuel trim. unfortunately you are spo far down as i may have some parts that would have worked but need to check on car first.

the mixer will need to be for the engine or sourced through someone who can work ouit the venturi size etc. the rest is largely univertsal but there is a risk of getting to large a vapouriser and just wasting fuel and power

remember for max power with lpg get compression up and run lean without being so lean it backfires and avoid ram air at all costs
