    Post Autogas conversion

    I'm posting like a nutcase today, because I'm bored.

    Anyhow, I'm thinking of going to an autogas specialist one day and getting and Autogas conversion done. Has any one else done this because I know it cuts your fuel costs roughly in half once you've broken even on the conversion.

    Regards

    James

    Hi have a word with your insurance company as some will not insure unless it a factory fitted.

    Mine is LPG converted 20k plus miles and no real problems, just routine stuff, 63p a litre and you only lose a tiny bit of power, i only run it whilst on motorways, if i need to play just switch it back to shell's finest...... paid £1400 fitted multi sequential injectors etc top kit.. Fassy1 fits them, if you are near Luton (i think) or i used a midlands company.

    Can you post a pictures of the install please. My only concern is a garage ££££££££££ up my R and doing bodge job. I have seen some hideous instalss in my time and to be honest, all the agro you can get with LPG systems really isn't worth the 50% reduction in fuel costs!

    If you have had a good result then i am all ears.
