It's that time of year again when thinking about an LPG conversion.

 

I have a Jap TT 300ZX Auto. It's reasonable on fuel for what it is. However, wondering if someone has taken the plunge and done an LPG conversion?

 

I would insist the fuel tank be made to fit where the spare wheel goes so as to appear as normal as poss though.

Those chip fat converters are a no-no I suppose?

I have been looking into LPG for a few years and last year bought a Chrysler Voyager 3.0l with a kit already fitted. I did 10k in it and then flogged it again.

It felt underpowered and had to be revved hard to go anywhere. The lpg has a lower calorific value and as such gives a smaller bang so you have to put your foot down more. I reckon 80% of the petrol power.

I'm currently looking for a NA manual LWB Zed that I plan to convert in the future.

My idea is to put a big tank in place of the rear seats and box in so it looks a bit like a factory 2+0. I'm not sure on the control circuitry and extra gubbins but a battery relocation to the boot might give a bit more room.

My dream is to tour across Europe in my Zed, visiting the autobahns, alpine passes etc. LPG will help with the fuel costs.

LPI (LPG injection) can be done on a Zed:
