Sargara Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 (edited) I get the whole LPG thing but to have only covered... lets say <50000 miles in 5yrs (as theres 2 owners and it was fitted in 2010), have they even broken even yet?

KyleR Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Wait.. the boots barely big enough for a few 5l oil cans lol, im guessing with the lpg tank... its gonna be 0 space! Probably fitted to the spare wheel well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flex Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Be interesting to see what Jez has to say. Can the mapping compensate for the LPG and stock the engine failing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnH Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Wait.. the boots barely big enough for a few 5l oil cans lol, im guessing with the lpg tank... its gonna be 0 space! Probably fitted to the spare wheel well. Well it says that in the advert so I'm glad you guys can read. It is worth noting that it has an 80l tank fitted in the spare wheel well which does impact on boot space slightly, I can still fit in 2 sets of golf clubs or 2 weekend bags so it has never caused me an issue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flex Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 3 year sof runing lpg and probably only recouped 2/3rds of the cost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toon Chris Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Wait.. the boots barely big enough for a few 5l oil cans lol, im guessing with the lpg tank... its gonna be 0 space! Probably fitted to the spare wheel well. Which makes 260 miles on a tank about right, so yes it will be in there but usually they are a little larger than the spare wheel so the floor of the boot may be a little higher. Also the owner may not have noticed any power difference but it will certainly be there. LPG has a much lower calorific value than petrol. That said, LPG is great for motorway cruising, it's gentler on the engine (the oil doesn't get full of crud) and its certainly cheaper. Having had experience of LPG it's the constant fill-ups that are the only downside. Once the cost of the install has been removed they are great for higher mileage drivers and you can switch back to petrol at the push of a button when you want it.

HaydnH Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 so yes it will be in there but usually they are a little larger than the spare wheel so the floor of the boot may be a little higher. It says that in the advert as well!!! See my quote above... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zedsdead Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 This is my car! Some of your comments do make me laugh! I bought the car with the lpg system already fitted so I haven't had to recoup any of the install costs. The guy I bought it off sold it within 10k miles of having it fitted, I have no idea why but he certainly didn't get his money's worth! His loss is my gain, I know he px'd it for a new range Rover Vogue so maybe he won the lottery or something. I did a lot of research before I bought the car and spoke to the company that did the install, they are one of the best lpg installers in the country which put my mind at rest. Proof is in the pudding as I have had 3 years use out of it with not 1 issue. In terms of performance difference there is none. If anything if it was tuned properly lpg would produce more power as it is 112ron. Regarding boot space, yes the tank does take up some space in the boot. Never been a problem for me as I can still fit 2 weekend bags or 2 sets of golf clubs the other side of the strut brace. I can also fit my fishing gear in with no issues. The prins lpg system is top of the range. I would not consider getting any other system. It has a valve saver kit fitted which resolves any worries of valve seats wearing. Would I pay to have an lpg system fitted myself- no I probably wouldn't as I don't cover enough miles for it to be cost effective. However I would have no hesitation in buying another car with a Prins lpg system. So much so the next car I want to get is a Monaro with a prins system already fitted. I have had 3 years of 350z performance with the running costs of a diesel, I don't really see the downside. If anyone has any questions about lpg systems in general I am more than happy to offer help and advice. Cheers, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
