Re: V8

only experience i had was on the RR i had, and that was fine on it. Just make sure you get it done properly, when i went to RPI engineering the guy there knew a lot about it (they were building an LPG only race car) and tunes the systems for best performance etc.

also look on here somewhere, there was an ML63 AMG being converted to LPG

Re: V8

Hi Fitted with a multi point system with Lombardi or similar electronic management you cannot go wrong...but get it done by an LPGA approved installer ...Huss55 this forum talks about Shakir being involved in LPG systems....volume/range needs research and connsideration as to where to put the tanks.

Try wheelhouse - I think he has two or three. Or check Autotrader.

Quite a few floating around the £30K mark and I'm sure you could haggle as they don't shift as easily as LWBs.
