Never heard of a B Series being put on gas, so not sure if it is an "easy" or suitable conversion. There was some confusion if they could run on Unleaded let alone LPG.
Hi Rich,

Rolls Royce did make gas versions of B range engines and I have seen a list of factory orders, showing them fitted in all kinds of applications from standby generators, trucks, buses, etc. As for running on unleaded, RR released a statement, quite some years ago now, showing it not to be a problem, providing minor timing adjustments were made.
