Welcome to the board!

I have had an LPG system installed in my former now 98... it worked great and saved me a lot! Price of LPG in Poland is half of the price of petrol...

Good luck!

Welcome to this forum! I would be interested if somebody could make a how to thread on converting their vehicle to LPG. Are you doing this yourself or are you giving it to a specialty company for the conversion?

 

[Dre]

"Brooklyn" - in Europe there are shops that do conversions. There is a huge market for it since you can buy LPG at nearly every gas station. System that I have installed in my 98 cost me around a $1000.00 - paid itself off in about four months of driving the way I drive. It's an automatic system that kicks in as soon as the engine warms-up and keeps running on LPG until the tank is empty.

not to hi-jack the thread... I did write about this in my registry of my 98 "X".
