Sorry for my ignorance - the 4.2 litre is the one I am considering, just been asked this morning by a conversion garage what type of injector it has Bosch or multipoint - must admit I do not have the knowledge ! any ideas how to find that out.Does the CL you're considering have the 5litre V8? I had an E500 with that engine converted.
Has anyone ever converted the old CL model to LPG ? are there any issues that I should be aware of as I am considering it, petrol costs would be outside budget unfortunately
Cheers
John
sorry cp3377,Does the CL you're considering have the 5litre V8? I had an E500 with that engine converted.
Thanks James,This is just my point of view, but the thought of lpg in a car has never really appealed to me. To the point that I wouldn't even view a car for sale if it was fitted. If you don't do many miles it will take longer to pay for itself.
My uncle has a large Dodge pickup truck with a huge lpg tank in the back, this makes a little more sense but I still wouldn't bother. Since he had the conversion lpg has gone up a lot in price, and then he has a long drive to get to a big station that stocks lpg.
It is also worth remembering that your car will do less mpg on gas than on unleaded.
I'm not trying to put you off or start any arguments, but I feel these are all valid considerations.
As previously stated, the lpg system will need maintainence even if not faulty, as will the car. Maintaining and fixing an old v8 can be reasonably expensive and will certainly make fuel costs one of the smaller running costs.
Thanks Ian,Where are you, there's a place I can recommend but it's in Wellingborough.
