Hi Guy's / Gals I know LPGO runs on LPG / GPL Have any of you thought about converting to LPG? - especially with fuel prices and congestion charges and the likes. |

Yes, I'm quite tempted to try and use a Garretson zero governor to try and do it without having to put a heated vaporiser in. Supposedly they are good for up to 25hp on a static generator so a tad more on a 2cv might just about work assuming the engine bay is reasonably warm in use. I don't know whether one could get it certified with such components though. |

Correction: 25hp on CNG, 40 on LPG. Still questions about certification though. |

there are a few 2cv on LPG in the Netherlands.. My girl has one, with normal vaporizer that is heated from the exhaust (illegal now for new installations). Jeroen Cats has a page in his site with more info/tips: http://cats-citroen.net/citroen_atypes/lpg.html |

Without heating the vaporiser, you will only do 3 miles and then your engine will stop with 1cm thick ice on the vaporiser!!!! So forget it you need a heated vaporiser...... B.t.w been there done that (for about 3 miles)......

I see that on the website above (CATS) - there has been additional copper coils wrapped around the heat exchangers or a stainless pipe through the crossbox (Or Both  )I was thnking about the inclusion of a water tank some pipework to the heat exhangers and crossbox and powered to the vaporiser with one of these. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Davies-Craig- ... 3f1bf8640f Also available off distributors in the UK and possibly europe |

I have read somewhere that this GPL-acadyane from the Citroen factory only had GPL and no gasoline and the mechanical fuelpump on the engine was used as a waterpump to circulate the watercircuit around - creative thinking from these guys !!
