for $4Gz... minus the goverment money.. makes this a very interesting proposistion!

Im not really very knowledgeable about gas systems.. and might make a complete a55 of myself buuuuuut.. I understand gas doesnt lubriate your valve seats(?).. so does this have a flow on effect to any parts of the T's engine?

I'll follow this with interest!

sounds like a good thing.. are these setups straight gas or petrol start?

Duel fuel with petrol start.

I don't know anything about converting to gas either, but just wondered if anyone has had any problems with it?

I read somewhere a ford engineer said that stronger conrods were needed for the factory BA LPG motor as the DOHC head flows so well, if there's a back fire with LPG you can expect bent rods (SOHC heads wouldn't let enough gas in to cause damage apparently). Have these injected gas systems overcome the backfire possibility?

With injected lpg backfire is gone as there is no gas sitting in the manifold.

I have tried to make them backfire and they will not do it.

gas is higher octane.. 104? I think.. even though high octane does not directly mean higher power

probabley because your burn more each stroke? (ok... now I am just guessing :idunno: )

Due to it's high octane rate the spark retard would not be as much also gas has a cooling effect on the air intake.

Less spark retard means potential for more power to be made.

Also with injected lpg there is no restriction in the intake as there is no mixer.
