I have an 1987 2.1 fuel injection Autosleeper. I had a new(reconditioned) engine fitted 2 years ago and she runs like a dream ever since. I am now thinking of getting her converted to LPG. Does anyone know or have experience of converting this engine. Am I likely to have problems with overheating etc?

... I have a 2.1 DG running smoothly on LPG and puts a smile on my face every time I fill up for £22!

Thanks for the advice, I've decided to go ahead with it! Anyone know of a repituble gas converter in the Cardiff area (40 miles radius)?

mine runs great on lpg. however it runs like a sack of $hit since it has been converted on petrol. still i dont run it on petrol since it has been converted as it would be foolish

Again - what they all said. I drove from Inverness to Chester to get steve to do ours so enough with this "within 40 miles of Cardiff Nonsense"....
Well worth the effort (1 fllight, one night free camping by the M6, one day on a train etc....).

Just to agree 2.1 petrol 1987 should run well on both fuels after conversion to LPG. Check that you'll be getting an anti-backfire device fitted as part of the conversion package,

just as a quick question (before I ring Steve) what system did he use ?
is it the "mixer system" or has he used injectors ?
