lpg

[brettp]

does anyone know if you can use lpg with a carb ?

[lee_capri]

yes you can mate

Yep, you can buy kits for a 1600 capper with the VV carb

Yes, but you need a regulator...

 

Just a word of warning though, LPG is a very dry fuel and will knacker your rings and valves very quickly when the engine that uses it revs upwards of 2500 RPM (this is why FLT engines are govorned to around that figure), it also runs very very hot further causing valves to suffer and they eat spark plugs weekly, the regulators/filters block with a brown rusty substance regularly and eventually completely block up.

 

starting in winter is also a problem, the regulators litteraly freeze and get covered in ice.

 

i work with LPG systems and can get all the parts for next to nothing to do my own, yet i still wouldnt fit it to my 2 litre capri.

 

in short...sadly not the fuel of the future we had hoped for.
