Vapour Lpg Vs. Liquid Lpg

[ChoCCo]

I spoke to a few people about the differences between the 2 systems, a few installers believe the vapour injection is the way to go and the the liquid lpg caused problems for a lot of cars in Europe but I just wanna know peoples views on this because I'm converting soon and I need to know what system will be best for my BA XR6T.

If anyone can point me in the right direction that would be good! Also, any pro's and con's on both systems would be helpful too.

And another thing, is it possible to use an external fuel gauge instead of using the stupid light system for the gas set ups?

cheers in advance guys

Most Vapour injection kits use approx 15-20% more gas than petrol.

Most good vapour injection kits may match the same power levels as petrol.

Depening on which Vapour injection kits is used will depend on how good the ecu is and then there's the case of how good a tune the instaler has fitted to it.

Liquid injection normally uses between 3-10 % more gas then petrol

Liquid injection will normally out power petrol on most cars

Liquid injection does not need another ecu to operate, it uses the factory ecu.

Liquid injection has cooler combustion temperatures which will eliminate the normal valve seat recession issues relating to other forms of LPG

There are tens of thousands of vehicles in the states using liquid LPG injection

There are 100's of thousands of cars using it in europe.

Roush use it in the states for theier F-150's

Subaru use it in europe for their Bi-fuel cars as original equipment

The Italian Forest Rangers use it on their cars

You decide which you think is better.

Liquid injection technology is new to Australia, but has been used for approx 5 years in Europe

Some gas fitters will tell stories about products based on what they sell, remember this when shopping

awesome thanks for the info, im waiting for a kit to be ordered in for the liquid system so hopefully shouldnt be too long b4 its up n running.

can I use a guage for fuel though?

[trevs]

its possible to use the standard fuel gauge in most cars by switching the fuel level sensor though the lpg switch and I cant see any reason why the ford one would be any differant

[ratter]

with the system as it is, it is not possible to use the factory gauge for LPG

I have a liquid system and am happy with the gauge/display that comes with the kit. Its a bit up and down when the gas gets low but I guess you just get use to how it works. I still get the average fuel and instant fuel shown on the dash, dont know how it still works though

[Worm]

The ECU "thinks" its still running on petrol, hence the reason for the average fuel and instant fuel showing on the dash...

turboworm.. hows your set up goin mate? I wouldnt mind a look at it when u got everything up n running properly.
