LPG conversion on a cayenne s
- Thread starter moss
- Start date
I had an lpg Mazda tribute v6 4x4 when lpg vehicles were congestion tax exempt. But the government soon changed that. If the road tax is reduced, there's no guarantee it'll stay that way as they are always thinking of ways to claw back money.
A right pain to fill up, took for ever. There weren't so many forecourts with lpg fuel 8 years ago, not sure if there's more or less now. With the push towards electric vehicles I guess less.
Too many components messed about with on the car. I bought mine with the system fitted, but personally I wouldn't have any vehicle converted.
Enjoy it for what it is our get a more economical car.

I've got this on mine.
Glad I had it done - it does need some fine tuning at the moment as its juddering on change-over.
- Bear in mind that its an aftermarket add-on, so it will need attention from time to time.
- Also I went for the flashcube upgrade to protect the engine, for added piece of mind.
-It didnt effect my Insurance (bell).

I have a chum who runs his Jag on LPG. Get a good fitter and the professional kits will be a donut tank in the spare wheel space not a cylinder reducing load space. Switchover on his is seamless. Looking at £1.5k as a benchmark price.
Just dont go for any cheap options :nooo:

Its a fluid which is supposed to protect the soft valves in these engines.
Im no mechanic but have been told that LPG burns so clean that it lacks the lubricants found in Petrol, which can cause the valve seats to wear.
The Fluid is dripped into the inlet manifold every 10 seconds or so, via a vacuum system.
heres a bit about it:

It was quite a cheap add-on, so it seemed to make sense to go for it.
