At QLD Valiant restorations and Spares we are now dealing with local and interstate LPG dealers and installers. We are promoting LPG as the best and really the only way to run your car, especially the older cars. I have written down a brief introduction to LPG which is also on our website at www.valiantspares.com.au .
I have been using LPG for about 2 months now on my V8 CL Valiant and the fuel savings have been amazing. eg. 4 of us loaded up the Val and drove from the Gold Coast to Sydney and back. With the price of LPG ranging from 30.9 cents a litre in QLD to 45.9 cents a litre in Sydney, we drove over 2000km using less than $150 in fuel. If that was unleaded fuel the cost would have been over $450. The engine has not been modified and it uses a upper cylinder lubrication kit which cost $75 to buy and only $17 to refill. The bottle lasts over 2000km.
Kind regards

With the price of LRP and unleaded fuels these days, why not convert your fuel system over to LPG. With LPG around 60c cheaper per litre, it is a easy decision to make when it comes to saving money. Converting over to duel fuel allows you to choose either LPG or Petrol. No modifications are needed to the engine and in most cases there is no noticeable difference in performance.
Using 1 full tank per week of petrol eg. 50 litres at .90 cents per litre = $45. If you were using LPG at .35 cents a litre then the 50 litres of LPG would only cost you $17.50. Saving you $27.50 each week. Over 1 year that would save you $1430. If you used 100 litres a week the saving would be $2860. That's a big saving isn't it.
It takes only 1 - 2 days to convert your car over to LPG. Below are two prices for LPG. These prices are for 6cyl or V8's.
In most cases you will recover the cost of the LPG conversion in less than 1 year and be making a profit or saving after that for many years to come.
These kits are supplied and fitted. Inspection approved and all tanks are valid.There is no other parts needed. In other words drive in, drive out.
Second hand 70 - 80 litre tanks and accessories, Supplied and Fitted. From $1200
New 70 - 80 litre tanks and accessories. Supplied and Fitted. from $1800.
There may be extra costs if you are using a Holley Carby, have twin pipes or other non factory modifications. These costs are only minimal in most cases.
