I had the privlidge a couple of years ago when i was at highschool to go to the BP refinery in brisbane once a week for school activities. Learnt a few things while there.
You all realise that the petrol companies already use processes to turn oil into petrol and visa versa. I think the process is called something like cracking. Basically they can cut hydrocarbon chains up and put them together again in whatever form they want. Also they use this i think to add more branches to the chains. So all you guys on gas and diesel watch out (especially diesel as it a heavier chain so they can make more petrol from it) as they may become more expensive.
By the way petrol companies make very little money from selling petrol. Where they make most of their money is in avaition fuel. When i was there they were also making a fair bit of money selling petrol to the US. Los Angelas had some anti-pollution laws brought in because of their really bad smog. They were able to sell low sulfur petrol to Los Angelas because they didn't have many places with the technology to make it then.

WTF?? dude, it comes out the spout thingy at the servo. pffft, hydrocarbon chains, is that like having multible nangs one after the other? :D

If you dont wanna loose power through a gas conversion run dedicated gas, not dual fuel. then get it tuned for gas and experience GAINS in power.

one thing to consider is that a car uses 20% more gas over petrol.

ps: gas is around the 55c /L mark.

yeah there some pretty quick car out there on gas, theres a VL that runs close to 10sec 1/4, he uses it as his daily driver too.

LPG has a RON of around 106 depending on manufacturer.

You should tune for 104 though.

Gas is 39.3 c/litre here.

who's done the gas conversion, where would you put the gas cylinder, I'm interested, would you the stock injection?????

gas only conversions remove the petrol tank and put a gas one there.

gas is used at nearly twice the rate of petrol. gas tanks hold more becasue of pressure as well. but at the end of the day, LPG is a bi-product that was disposed of for many years, in theory the price of it should not really move. petrol stations raise it because everything else is going up, so why not make money!
