ive heard of it being done in stuff like the F250's in the US and its a very intereesting concept... youd be the first to do it if you did!

Has anyone considered this conversion on a MKV golf yet?
25% more power, reduced diesel consumption, lower emmissions, longer engine life, small LPG tank and Kevin Rudd will pay for 50% of the installation!

VW: it aint just a car, its a way of life
There are few things more satisfying in life than finding a solution to a problem and implementing it

Seen this before, its very interesting indeed. The only problem i have with fitting something like this is until someone here is Aus has the software to tune our electronic injected TDI's in real time you will struggle to get the real benefits of performance and economy.
I am sure people would see some great results in a mechanical TDI though.
Cheers,

mmmm mechanical....
i've thought many times how neatly an LPG tank would fit in infront of the rear axle on the mk3 - heaps of room, since the fuel tank is under the boot.

'98 Mk3 Cabriolet 2.0 8V
'99 A4 Quattro 1.8T
I like this LPG kit.

Ive seen these setups whilst in Canada - but only on diesel trucks....Duramax/F250 etc, bu not on a VW TDI yet.....sounds very interesting though. Doesn't seem to be many (if any) down sides.![]()
This is a cheaper alternative.

Try their straight vegetable oil conversion.
I've been tossing over it for my T4 dual cab.....but have yet to jump mainly because:
a) I've only ever seen the conversion done on dumb turbo diesel engines....not ones with ECU's
b) the local DGA licenced fitter has only just started out in the business so I'd be more comfortable going down to Adelaide.
And from what I hear.......the claims for 20% improvement in power & economy are just that........claims.
Personally, jokes aside, if I wanted to blend in another fuel, it would be a bio tank. Prices aren't going to stop, and making your own will become popular.
