Honest Gaza The Thief of BadGags Donating Members 527 Member For: 21y 7m 12d Location: Sydney Posted 17/08/04 11:15 PM Share Posted 17/08/04 11:15 PM Don't panic, I don't intend converting the Turbo to LPG :lol: However, we also have a 2000 Model AUII Futura which the wife uses ( or should that be, abuses ), and due to increasing petrol costs, we have given thought to selling it and buying a smaller car. One that she can "aim" at the garage opening with a little less requirement for concentration There are times that I take the Futura to the office so that I don't clock up too many k's on the Turbo....so if we do sell the Futura and get a smaller car, I'm stuck with driving it to the office on occasions too ( 150km round trip ).Therefore, I now wish to investigate the option of LPG conversion of the Futura so that we still benefit from the "safety" aspect and comfort of a larger car.Anyone able to recommend an LPG converter in Sydney ???( Preferably in the Liverpool area.....or close by ) Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/12403-lpg-conversion-on-auii/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had my VT Late model camira butchered by the Gas Man at Alexandria. A professional job apart from fitting of the Flashlube kit which was entirely incorrect and resulted in the destruction of my inlet valves.I have no other experience with other gas fitters.

In the end it has cost them as I have quite a few mates with LPG cars and all have steered clear of The Gas Man after my experience with them. I would be happy with another LPG car (even with the power loss) but there are gas fitters and there are gas fitters!
