Scooby on lpg ?

Post by Dazco »

I'm looking into the practicalities of fitting a scooby lump into my van , I've read up on the rjes site but was wondering if it would be possible or feasible to run on lpg ? Ta , daz

My EJ25 is running on a Bigas SGIS system which I got from Tinley. Its worked faultlessly since I fitted it. What sort of thing did you want to know?

I was thinking about using the tank etc that I've already got on my van, probably sell the rest of the kit, I take it that it would need a different vaporiser unit etc. I'm not doing this conversion yet, just sussing it out for when my 1.9 dies the death of a thousand water tortures. Daz

I did just that. The 2.1 MV was already on LPG. When I fitted the EJ25, I just swapped out the OMVL Leonardo for the Bigas SGIS, the tank and plumbing was largely unchanged. Yes, new vaporiser, and also Tinley recommended I fit a Flashlube kit.

No probs. Take a jar of vaseline if you go shopping for a Bigas engine kit !
