Hey Dave,

I understand what you are saying completely. I have read into it a quite a bit and I agree with you completely, LPG in Australia is pretty much rubbish but you can buy 100% propane, not from petrol stations, but at outlets which allows car fill-ups. I am trying to remeber the name of the place. There is one in cambellfield along the hume hwy in Victoria.

I also do not intend or running the car at such high power levels. The engine will only see these power levels on "special" occassions. It would destroy the motor fairly quickly I would think!!! So the volitilaty of using LPG isn't as great when running the engine at am much more reasonable/driveable level.

Thankyou for your words of caution though. I greatly appreciate your experience/information.

Thankyou

Shaun

Hey Dave,

After thinking about all the pro's and con's of the gas system from the converters to the plenum, I was thinking I could do this better than GRA and design my own throttle body controlled by MS like in an injection system. What do you think?

Cheers,

Shaun

Hi Shaun
All things are possible I guess but time, money etc, how much to you want to spend? Vapour injection might be easier (might be expensive) and a lot more effective, the guy from Belgium is known as mitsuko, if you can catch his attention I'm sure it would be worth your while, he seem knowledgeable in this field. I will be would be interested myself so keep in touch.

Cheers
