V6 T5/Multivan

[Tornado T5]

Sorry if I wasn't clear however my friend wants to convert a PETROL T5 V6 to LPG dual fuel using the latest Liquid injection LPG system and was after some real world V6 economy numbers.

My apologies, I was responding to Shogun2's (hijacking) mention of diesel/gas conversions.

I think the petrol V6s are quite rare in T5s, in fact I think I've only ever seen one (that I've noticed the little V6 badge on anyway).

And what he/she actually needs are real world V6 petrol consumption figures AND V6 LPG gas consumption figures, otherwise they will be relying on general or marketing figures for their evaluation.

Maybe you could ask the same question on the brickyard (UK) site as there seems to be more T5 owners there (but again nearly all TDI engines, not petrols) site address is - http://www.brick-yard.co.uk/forum/default.asp

Sorry, didn't mean to hijack the thread. I was responding to the last paragraph of Tornado T5's post.

Thanks to all. No probs Shogun2, in fact one of my suppliers deliver drivers wants me to visit a company in Pakenham Vic, which has converted a couple of Hilux diesels to LPG/Diesel and the owners are absolutely rapped in the results.

OK, means that it may require a bit more investigation here in Adelaide. I'm interested in anything that can make the fuel cheaper (and the Kw and torque increase can only be good). I also want to understand what the downside is (and I know there is always a down side).

I appears not everyone had a happy experience with diesel/Gas
