Hey there Gary, I'm down here in Australia. We have easy access to
L.P.G.here. Petrol is around 90c per litre and LPG is about 50c. I
have run taxis in the past on LPG. My main concern with running on
LPG is that my cabs all ran with a much higher engine temp. They also
had less power. They were 4litre six cylinder Fords, so they had
quite a bit of spare power. Not so with a 2.1 wasserboxer. Have you
lost any power with your conversion? And do you notice the engine
gets hotter? The heat problem was most noticable in summer, which I
think is hotter down here than up your end of the world.
