Default Lpg

LPG has taken off in a big way here .... it came into use around 20 or more years ago. Most of the older Fords like Howard has .. Falcons and LTD's , F100's and so on, are on LPG . I think You can even buy brand new Falcons already converted at the factory .

A friend here has a F100 on LPG , it is an old backyard conversion thats really on the margin of being safe. The car always smells of gas .. it's very strong and I hate getting in it... you wouldnt be a smoker and be safe !

The LPG auto gas bottles by law , have to have a 10 year check , they are date stamped . There have been nasty cases of cars exploding , so they updated the laws and you need 2 cutoff relays now .. one each end of the feed pipe from the tank. The stuff is a by-product of the refineries .. so i've been told.
