Lpg Yes Or No?

[biscuit]

Having had an xj8 with LPG I can confirm the benefits of it on a petrol engine but has anyone fitted or had fitted a system on the 2.8 diesel Voyager, is it worthwhile consumption wise and secondly would it get a lower tax bracket as the emissions would be reduced, any thoughts?

I haven't looked into lpg on a diesel for many years but I understood the benefit was more power and cleaner emissions. Maybe these days they could be remapped to save on diesel as well?

Hi there!

I'm sure you are probably aware the diesel / lpg never really took off due to the difficulties of making a compression ignition engine work on a fuel that need a spark to burn, so would always run a mix, the burning diesel ignites the lpg.

 

Also I don't think there is an official classification for that as dual fuel, to get the massive £10 reduction on road tax.

 

But the diesel engine can be remapped, or use a "plug and play module" for around £70 for good and immediate results. I have used them on my Renault Master 2.5 van, a Mazda6 2.0 sport - huge increase it was a totally different car, 2 Ford 1.8 Galaxys, and a Kia Sedona 2.9.

Hi, I did a little research which left me a bit confused ( not difficult these days) I just wondered if anyone had tried it on a diesel. But yes I have started looking into re mapping it’s a lot simpler than a lpg conversion and cheaper which always helps! Right I will start looking round.

I also looked into log for my diesel what with fuel prices and the ultra low emission zone but tfl say it wud be 80 % 20 % so they wud still charge if I enter the ulez so I to am going for a remap stage 1 from top gear at £250 15 to 20 % better fuel consumption and increased power even thou I don't need any more power but I have been told it will prolong the life of the turbo
