Hello Michael Rayner,
I haven't forgotten, just tied up. As previously posted on this
forum, my conversion did not go smoothly.
I got it done in June '07. It is a Injection system with its own
program processor. In late 08, it started to run not too well,
the Van being off the road for over 3 mths. After all this, I ended
up with a new LPG injection system. So far so good.. But I am always
a bit anxious with all this wiring and electronics on top of the VW
gear. I have seen some Transporter with the more simpler Impco set-up.
But back-fire seems to be an issue there. Would I do it again? Not
sure after all the hassle I had. But then again, I guess we would
never run out of LPG here in OZ?!!
If you want to go down this road, I would suggest that you talk to a
few LPG installers and see what they have to offer.
Also, there is a lot of information on the Net.
Recover cost is another story altogether. If you live in Melbourne,
it will be the shortest time. While along the East coast, I guess it will
take a bit longer. In out-back Australia, it may not be
worthwhile. But then again,with an additional LPG tank, you can drive another
400 - 500 km. By the way I use about 19 lit. per 100 km on LPG.
