Classic Car LPG Conversions

By Stanley P Major


Liquid petroleum gas car conversions are becoming more popular due to the astronomical rise in the prices of petrol. Car owners who own gas-guzzling cars or those equipped with large V8 engines often consider converting their automobiles to LPG to save tons of money both in petrol costs and maintenance.

Liquefied petroleum gas otherwise known as LPG is considerably cheaper than petrol and are considered clean burning compared to other types of oil-based fuel derivatives.

The simple chemical composition of butane and propane will ensure a cleaner burn. It is good to know that the average motorist will not only enjoy fuel savings when converting to LPG as the government will also reward you with reduced road tax or VED and the possibility to be exempted from the London congested charge.

The conversion itself is a process that is best left to professional mechanics with years of experience in converting normal petrol powered vehicles to LPG. An additional fuel tank will need to be installed in the trunk or under the car to aid in efficient and safe storage of LPG.

Additional fuel lines are also installed along with secondary injectors that provide fuel to the combustion chamber. A switch is also integrated into the dashboard to enable you to choose from petrol to LPG at any given moment during the drive.

Expect more than double the mileage that you presently get from your car along with the clean burning properties that contribute to cleaner air and less emissions. This is the ideal way to contribute in saving the planet while still retaining a sense of enjoyment from your driving experience.

Remember to consult only the best dealers when it comes to getting liquid petroleum gas conversions. This will further ensure safety and performance from the whole conversion process of your vehicle.
