Has anyone had experience of converting the "S" from
Petrol to Gas or know of a company that does it ?
 
[:D]There are companies that use the spare wheel well, fitting a "donut" tank, with no loss of boot space. Had a Jeep 4.8 V8 done a few years ago - no problems.

Cayenne V6 3.2 has a spare wheel well, so should work the same.

Green Fuel in Bath did my Jeep job - no complaints.

Thanks ganly.
A friend in the MB club told me he had a Range Rover converted and the tank went into
the spare wheel space and this also gave the petrol tank a normal capacity .
The gas was ok for about 300 miles which would suit me admirably.
I must take a serious look although i am thinkng of going back to RR V 8 Diesel
(sorry fellow posters/members)
 
Nearly bought a RR during the snow months ,it had a gas conversion fitted by a company in Glasgow.
Clarkson Van Hire .,the owner of the garage is a Porsche owner It is a Italian kit approved and was the dough nut style fitted in the spare wheel well ,capacity is approx 90 ltrs but you cannot fully fill the system so is approx 75 ltrs You do loose the spare and have to have the gunk can if you have a puncture.They reckon you get about the same as petrol but at 65pa litre how long that will last with this government taxing everything it wont be long before alternative fuels go up .
 
Hi Tiskev, I had a KN 4.5 Turbo converted a few months ago, it actually performs better on LPG than on Petrol, awesome to drive, no loss of power infact I honestly think the KN on LPG seems to be a bit more rapid, and the £saving when filling up is extremely pleasurable.[;)][;)] This is defo down to the quality of the system and the install. The install was carried out by a sports performance LPG specialist. I know of 2 respected companies (one from Holland and the other Italian) who have tried to convert a Turbo but have had some issues. If you still have the KN and are considering an LPG system just beware of cheap alternative systems and equally poor quality installs. Let me know how you got on and if you haven't but are still considering LPG I can provide further details that may be useful.

Regards

Thank you Zafa .
I still have the car and have not yet got around to
doing anything about the conversion but i will most certainy
go into it seriously when the weather improves .When you look
at the cost of a 500 mile trip close on £200 the Gas is almost a must .
 
Zafa - I'm rapidly coming to the conclusion that I need to get mine converted - I'm doing 25K PA, and at 137 / Litre it's not fun filling up the turbo !
could you PM me details of where you had yours done please ?
thanks

David I also have a name I think in Lancashire.
A friend just had a Rangy done and he knows what
he is talking about .No harm in looking at a few
 
I've posted on this topic before ( 2004 KN S ). What becomes of the bose, can it be moved from the spare wheel well and to where. How far in miles do you get to a tank ( 90 = 75 litres ) of LPG.

And please give a link to your installer.
 
Quoting on the Range let us take a tank that will hold 75 litres of gas
That will do about the same as the equivalent petrol. Say 300 miles .
You do not lose your petrol tank so you have the additional capacity
of another 400 miles if you cant find a place to refill with Gas .
The gas tank fits in the spare wheel well so you lose that but i only had
a pot of glue anyway and the well is wasted space.
The fried who had his Rangy done is in Lancashire is that any good to you?
There are many scatterd around the country and the tecknology must
be very similar. My fried paid £1700 to have it done .
