The 10 Most Common Mistakes When Converting From Petrol to LPG

1)    Booking in with the cheapest quote, just because it is the cheapest.

•    Cheap can = Compromise on quality of the equipment = Unreliable = Break down!!!

•    Cheap can = Compromise on quality of the installation = Unreliable & UN-SAFE!!!


2)    Not comparing apples with apples! Brand Of Equipment as well as price!


3)    Not researching LPG Equipment Brands! Some brands of equipment may suit your vehicle/situation better than others.

•    Good vs Bad
•    SVI vs VENTURI
•    Positive Pressure vs Negative Pressure
•    Oils ain’t Oils
•    Conversions ain’t conversions


4)    Not researching Installers!
•    LPG Specialists  vs  Mechanics
•    Good/Fussy   vs   Rough / Untidy/ Dodgey


5)    Booking in with a company who has great marketing staff but not so great technicians! Do your research!!


6)    Fitting older style venturi equipment, simply because it is cheaper, when the newer Sequential Vapour Injection Systems offer far better efficiency and more long term savings!


7)    Fitting second hand equipment that you do not know the history of, bought cheaply from a wrecking yard or EBay!!! (Problems in a box!!)


8)    Installing equipment yourself to save money – usually costs you more in the long run, when it doesn’t work properly and you have to pay someone to fix it.


9)    Don’t assume factory fitted LPG systems are good quality!!  Assumption, not fact!!


10)    Not fitting the Upper Cylinder Lube Kit. Too much lubrication is far better than not enough!!
