is it worth it????
would like to get my van converted to gas but i am bein told that the engine has to be warm to switch to gas? I only do short trips around 10 mile radius so would it be worth me changing and how much would it cost roughly???? cheers ROB i have a 1.9 not sure of code (dg dh etc..) 84 kamper carvelle

Nope - the way Steve Shaw does it you'll be able to start up on LPG with both Aircooled and wbx vans..........
It costs about 900 quid(ish) - and you'll get your money back in less than 7000 miles - probably nearer 5000 if LPG is less than 40p round your way and petrol is nearer £1........

Hi Robs,
Full tank of liquid gold = 230-250 miles @ £50 (ish ?!!)
50 Litres of LPG = 180-210 miles @ £20ish
Speak to Steve Shaw ... Top Bloke,ask anyone who's running on gas. As for starting on petrol,I've never had to do it, only on the very coldest mornings the van (1.9DG) fires and then second try starts and runs fine.

i think i have only run my van on petrol 3 times since i converted it to gas
and mocki does not even have a petrol pump on his van?
mine starts from cold no problem it has been stood unused for a month and starts first time no worries
i should tell you mine has a 1.8 golf engine and not the normal WBX.
