Re: [DML] Re: Engine Options - fuel options

Hi Bob and others

It's not exactly like you say. It is true that many people convert their
cars to run on gas instead of gasoline BUT it's LPG that they use. There is
a road tax on LPG and they are talking about raising that tax a lot... So
pretty soon gasoline or LPG will make no difference when it comes to price.
I want to make my D run on CNG. I can get the storage tank and everything
else needed, that is no problem. Since the same goes into LPG installation.
The problem is that LPG is rated at 100 octane which is close enough to
gasoline rated at 95 over here. The CNG is rated at 120 and this is where
the problem is. The engine will not be too happy about this, I will loose a
lot of power, it will be hard to start it. With LPG you can make it double
fuel no problem... with CNG it's more complicated.
