Looking at the mad rush at the fuel pumps lately has anyone looked at using natural gas (L.P.G., incase anyone was getting out the Heinz!).

I contacted Tickford and a couple of other places last year after watching Top Gear (who said that the goverment will cover part of the conversion cost). Tickford had converted a number of single turbo cars (Saab etc) but said it couldnt be done on a twin turbo. I tried calling today to see if things have changed but no luck getting through. But if they can power a BTCC V6 Vectra I'm sure they may be able to convert a Z (plus I think the going rate is 36p against 82p for Unleaded).

Wonder if it works well with NOS :)

Laters,

I have been wondering this myself for some time. I dont understand what the problem might be with twin turbo rather than single turbo.

 

Either it works with turbos or it doesnt, right ?

 

I'll have a look around tomorrow and see what i can find.

 

Isn't the govt grant only for cars up to 3 yrs old..?

What about mixing LPG with either oxygen or NOS to get more power. Also compressing the LPG (turbos?) should get more of it in there giving us the power of a larger capacity engine.

 

Well, I'll be pleased if I manage to have enough fuel to get my micra back to the Nissan garage... I'll be driving the m25 at 60mph maximum... how sad.

 

well, thats one lpg conversion company out of the picture....

 

 

 

Dear Craig

 

Sorry but we do not convert Turbo vehicles as they have a high back-fire risk.

 

Kind regards
