Opinions On Going Duel Fuel

Postby Maximus » March 3rd, 2010, 5:33 pm

What does everyone think about going duel fuel?

Considering converting whatever EB/ED Ghia I end up with.

I hear there are problems, but has gas technology advanced enough for it to be worth it?

nothing better then filling up for $30 and going 350-400km

beats any loss in power or anything.

Thats pretty much exactly what i wanted to hear.

Anyone had any experience with the oil driper systems? I hear LPG doesnt lubricate as well as Petrol and can blow out valve stem seals?

wouldn't worry about the dripper systems. Just use 1 tank of fuel every month or so. and put some injector cleaner in your petrol tank to keep the injectors clean.
