Need to replace car with urgency and I've been offered a Volvo bi-fuel cheap - never had a Bifuel before so wondered if anything in particular to check on them?

Thanks guys. I agree I'd usually stay away from the added complexity, just have some urgency as my snotter has a gearbox full of neutrals and this is 'very attractively priced'. Will go take a peek. It's got 185k on it already but if it runs for another 20k it'd do.

Most of the old Volvo bi fuels from mid 2000s were I fact CNG - compressed natural gas and not lpg.

Well that was a fairly easy decision, the LPG system didn't work at all lol. No sale!
