@Gwampa,

What you see on the wheel well cover is also for the LPG installation. It's a regulator. Works just about the same as a feul pump, controling the gas flow into the intake.

The engine will start on feul but after a while (depending on the type of engine and installation, 1sec to a couple of mins) will switch to LPG.

Thanks mSub, I like to learn somthing new everyday. We here in the states will always have trouble understanding multiple fuel sources with our availability of petrol. You should be aplauded for adapting and enjoying your cars and hobby.

In Europe there's quite a big scene with American car drivers. Most who have one, love it and take good care of it.
With our fuel prices 90% of the American cars you find here, drive on LPG. It gives a little less power but is just so much cheaper it's worth it.
Good thing we have an alternative for a fuel here, otherwise you wouldn't find so much American steel on the roads here.

It just too expensive too ride on normale benzine...For 1 tank full of LPG i pay around the $33.71 and if i have too pay for our benzine i should pay around $100 for a full tank..60 litres..And with that i can drive my 5.0L v8 only for 124 miles...
So thats why we all drivers in Europe drive on the gas (LPG)...


Does someone knows a onlineshop which are shipping too europe? greets

Alas...we Americans are slaves to gasoline.
Except for the ethanol, but NC has less ethanol pumps than any other state..
