What does your truck run like on gas? I'm thinking about getting the conversion done and trying to work out if it will be worth it |

Have seen them in the boot and underneath the vehicle, although i think they fit a smaller petrol tank on and fit the gas tank in place of the original tank. But i think whereever the gas tank is placed, the savings must be worth it |

Mine has the 70 litre gas tank where the petrol tank used to be and then has a 4 gallon petrol tank halfway along the vehicle. The LPG tank hangs down pretty low so I have fitted a modified steel petrol tank guard to protect it. It runs pretty much the same on gas as on petrol but tends to be a little bit lumpy on tickover when on the gas. If you have a conversion done make sure it is a multipoint one and ask them to put Iridium plugs in at the same time as these cope with the higher running temperature better. Dragon, if you ever want to have a look at it give me a shout and I"ll bring it over one evening . Jaz, it will cost about £1600 for the conversion so you will need to keep the car about 2 years or so to get your money back but it's great fun filling up and watching people pay through the nose for petrol/diesel when you are filling up at 56p a litre  . |

I'm seriously considering doing it. It's well looking into especially if the Government decide to put up the cost of road tax.  |

Road tax is only £10 cheaper but some insurance companies stick £30 to £40 on the annual premium for the extra risk of LPG.
