    VR6 on gas

    Heres an interesting one: Has anybody heard of a VR6 running on LPG?? Or CNG? Worth it? Would the vr6 engine cope with LPG?

    your better off going straight gas if you are going to do an LPG conversion.

    That way its not a compromise between 2 fuels in terms of tuning and performance and economy and you dont loose any boot space as you replace your petrol tank with a gas one!
