I've been running the V70R on petrol since I picked it up as the first time I tried to refill on gas, the car was enveloped in a horrible hazy cloud! Yikes! So I assumed that the filler or filler pipe was leaking... well this morning I was filling up at a different station, my local Morrisons, and I glanced at the next pump over to me - an LPG pump with a different type filler nozzle (the twist and pull back lever type).
Me being me, I tried hooking up the gas nozzle - no cloud of gas, just a satisfying 'psst'. So I filled up the gas tank as well £18 to fill the tank lol. I've zeroed the trip to see how far that'll get me, but to say I'm a happy bunny is a huge understatement - 24mpg on petrol isn't that much better than the 25mpg on diesel from my old Discovery - which I am selling because it was costing too much to run!
Off to see Simon next weekend to service the LPG system, then I can start enjoying the car instead of spending £100s a week on it!
