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.
