RR 4.4 LPG conversion - any experience?
Discussion
The tank is fitted in the spare wheel well so no boot space is lost (95 litre tank of which about 75 litre is useable). Obviously, you'll lose the stowage for a spare wheel (replaced with a can of tyre weld in mine).
You will get approx 17mpg on gas which gives a range of about 250 miles with "normal" driving. Given the price differential, it equates to low 30s mpg. A system costs roughly £2500 to fit and will pay for itself in 14000 miles. If you do less than about 8000 per year or don't plan to keep the car, decide whether it's cost-effective.
There are a number of systems on the market. Mine is a Prins but whichever you end up with (JE and others will point you in the right direction), an electronic multi-point system is what you need. It's tied into the ECU and is fully automatic.

Mine is a BRC system
I can highly recommend the use of LPG I had a 4.6 P38 on gas as well.
As stated if you are doing the miles it will pay for it's self nicely.
There is no loss of performance.
I can't find fault with LPG cars. Apart from the spare wheel and movement of air compressor.
