    I've heard LPG isn't too good for high performance engines as it provides less lubrication for head internals.......is there any truth in this?

    Been running my old engine on it for 20,000 miles, when we took it apart, there was no wear in the top end, it was all nice and clean.

    On it last power run, it gave 247bhp, while on LPG

    Some engine hate the stuff, other love it, the T5 lump likes it

    Thanks Paul...that's really useful stuff to know! On another note....are there different grades of LPG, in terms of octane in fuel? Is there some sort of high output rocket gas to make LPG a performance mod....then I could excuse having it :-))))
