Conversion Process

LPG Conversion Process consists of two main areas,

. the front installation (components mounted in the engine bay and switch mounted inside the car)

. The back area and piping (Tank, filler and feed pipe to the front)

Since 2000, with the introduction of on-board diagnostics (OBD) every car should have multi injection sequential (information provided by the petrol control unit (ECU) is utilised to control the LPG injectors) i.e. performance and driveability between LPG and petrol.
