LPG conversion for CR-V

[yaehbhi]

Hi there,

I'm wondering if anyone here can give me some advise on LPG conversion for a 2003 CR-V.

Has anyone gone this path, what are the pros and cons and any recommendations on LPG kits, installation dealers in Melbourne would be a great help.

Hope to get your valuable feedback!

cheers

i always advise against gas. there are a lot of dodgy installers out and if installed wrong can do damage to your car i work for a ford dealership and ive seen a few blown computers from gas installations. im currently working on a car that ran the car only on gas and never used the fuel side. all the fuel side rusted out ending up in costly repairs. gas maybe cheaper to purchase but they dont tell you you use twice as much and it doesnt get you as far. i mean if you can find a good and reliable installer it may provide you years of good service. im just not a big fan of it

Hi All,

Because of the increasing petrol prices I've been thinking about installing LPG in my Honda CR-V.

I'm wondering if anyone here has installed LPG in a Honda vehicle, more specifically 2003 CR-V.

Australian LPG Warehouse has an LPG kit designed for CR-V:

-Has anyone used this kit in any of their vehicles.
-What has been their experience.
-What are the pros and cons (I've heard that Honda advises against installing LPG in their vehicles)
-Recommendations on LPG kits, installations (Vapour injected?)
-Recommended LPG conversion dealers in Melbourne (South East region).

Hope to get your valuable feedback!

cheers

Hi panda[cRx]

Do you've any evidence (document, email, web link etc) of where Honda has advised against installing LPG in their vehicles. This will be extremely helpful. Thanks Y

I was thinking of getting a 1999 Legend and converting to gas, thinking about going luxury, but worried that even though I only drive 11mins to work each day, would still add up any time I want to drive anywhere else, is it true about Honda saying DONT use LPG in their cars?

its not just that honda dont recommend it. its just asking for problems. i work at a dealership and see problems all the time related to aftermarket gas conversions. if you want good fuel economy buy a car that doesnt suck fuel. most guys who do conversions only do half of whats really required. a gas only car has higher compression different head work a whole bunch of stuff. we get a car that had 3 computers in it because the gas conversion keeps frying it. from memory a computer is around $1100 for the car.

Unfortunately Honda doesn't make diesel cr-v in AU, but in UK they do... Consumption of diesel on average is 5.5 ltr.

I was thinking to import one, or maybe just import the engine and do the conversion. Definitely will be much more expensive then go to LPG, but i reckon in long time more efficient

Any thoughts?
