    "Gassed" R's

    Does anybody know of, or have experience of, LPG'd V70R (MY 2003 - 2006 variant)? Thanks

    Damn these T5/R's -keep getting drawn back to them.

    worked on a few lpg engines we find it works better on things like rangerovers and jags where the engines are a bit loose and rattle it nevers seems to work as well on a tight tuned engine hope that helps a little plus there is some power loss

    Thanks guys - my concern is/was the highly tuned lump and how it takes to LPG and subsequently the longevity of an LPG'd engine.

    its hit and miss depending who you talk. to my opinion is you loose that little bit of lubrication you get with running it on petrol. i would not be keen running a tuned engine on it.
