When the driver applies for the conversion, the vehicle will be subject to a technical inspection (similar to an MOT). The technical inspection will also look closely to:
- Corrosion, especially in the boot
- Coolant radiators inside (front and rear)
After it’s ready for conversion, the car is shipped or driven to the conversion centre.
The Diesel engine, gearbox and diesel tank will be removed including the fuel lines, driveshaft and exhaust.
The electrics are modified and the new engine is fitted to the original gearbox. The new engine and ECU are positioned and mounted in the engine bay. The driveshaft is modified and a new exhaust is fitted. The LPG tank and petrol tank are fitted together with the 2 sets of fuel lines. A new radiator and vaporizer are installed to supply the cooling and the LPG to the engine.
Lastly a fuel switch is fitted in the dashboard, this will show which fuel you’re driving on and how much LPG is left in the tank. The original tank gauge on the dashboard is connected to the new 12L petrol tank.
