So i have had my I6 for 6 months now and it was costing a bomb on petrol so i went and got it converted to gas, and what can i say.... Its PERFECT.
Car started of on petrol untill the temp gets to 35deg then switches to gas on its own,
can not feel the change and only a low lick noise when it changes.
If any of you want some more detail and/or pics i can take some and show you the finished system.
Just hope it starts to save me money and i also hope i can do my favourite Scotland trip in the summer to loch shiel on one full tank of each from Bolton

I'd love to see more my self....

Out of interest, and it could be too soon to ask, but how far can you go on a full tank of gas?

Hope you don't have a need for your spare wheel

Be interesting to see the mpg difference, what did it cost?

Last time I was in the UK, LPG seemed quite expensive. I've had 5 LPG dual fuel cars over the years here and the price used to be about 1/3 the price of petrol. It has now crept up to be around 1/2 so diesel is more attractive. What's the current rate?

The last LPG car I had was a Nissan Pathfinder. It got 13 l/100 km petrol and 17 l/100 gas. I hear the economy is better with the new systems. The reason I switched was when travelling away from the cities here, there was either no gas or it was super expensive. At the time, prices were city $1.20 petrol 60c gas but outback country $1.60 petrol $1.20 gas or worse. The only diesels we could get at the time were crappy Jap things that had no power, bad economy and high service costs. My LPG motors all lasted a long time, not using any oil with 350k on the clock.

I ran a Disco 1 V8 for 70,000 miles on lpg. I paid £1000 for the conversation, twin underfloor tanks 35ltr capacity each. I bought my lpg from a builders merchants, less than half the price of petrol at the time. No difference mpg whether on petrol or gas. Main advantage, V8 power/sound track with (in money terms) diesel economy. Main disadvantage you had to plan your long journeys around lpg filling stations, however, there are more about than you imagine, with a database of them on the web. Subsequently fitted a 100ltr tank in boot and sold the underfloor tanks. Lost the dickie seats, but not an issue for me. I boxed the tank in and fitted a dog guard so enough room for luggage.
I also ran a V8 90 auto with reduced range as only had a 45 ltr tank. This became a ball ache as it was my commuter motor, used a gallon a day on 15 mile round trip. The lpg allowed me to run a V8 motor at diesel cost, but I spent a lot of time on fuel station forecourts.
I hope you enjoy yours and with some planning you will be able to drive to the lakes or to Scotland and back on gas.

One thing I do remember was that the quality of LPG varied a lot. Some fills were 'light' and others 'heavy'. I could get a variation of up to 100kms out of the tank depending on the quality over the same conditions. I'm assuming the light tanks had more propane and the heavy tanks more butane. It's a mixture out here.

I think most of the gas now is Calor gas. The installer said that it is also them that have set the rules on the install of the system to, saying that 20% of the tank must not be used, so my 71ltr tank can only be filled to about 55ltr.
He also said it was a stupid rule as Calor fill there gas bottles for bbq's and patio heaters to the top. I6 WITH GAS CONVERSION

What MPG are you getting on Petrol out of your i6? Last time we went up to Scotland from Buckinghamshire we were getting 35mpg. Which seems okay.
The cost of a conversion on the i6 would pay for a lot of fuel to be really honest.
Obviously running around varies a lot on this, but mid 20's possible and as our one only does 7k a year cannot justify conversion.

Have however run many LPG vehicles and really like them.
Presume you have one of the valve lube devices fitted?

Enjoy.
