LPG, possible downsides?
Discussion
I'm currently toying with idea of venture into bangernomics with a cheap & cheerful 4x4 for towing & general workhorse duties.
Interested in the idea of LPG but having done some research on the forums I see some posts suggesting there are risks to to the engine. I can't see much elaboration on what the issues may be though.
Anyone know what the possible problems are? Are any engines more likely to suffer, ie alloy blocks worse tha iron? Any conversion kits worse or better than others? Do the conversions typically leave a minuscule petrol tank making them inconvenient in areas where LPG supply is sparse?
Cheers
