LPG Vans
« on: March 16, 2013, 12:50:19 pm »
Does anyone know what vans come in LPG?
I've seen Citroen Dispatch but they are only 1.6 engine with a 1000kg payload. It seems a bit undernourished to pull the weight all day long.

I like the new Transit Custom but as far as I can see they're all diesel.

Any help, links or advice appreciated.

Don't quote me on this but i have heard that lpg engines don't last as long as petrol/diesel due to the gas has no lube in it  ??? ???

Might be wrong because i heard this when lpg first came out.

How does that work out on cost per mile and mpg Chris ?

Mine was factory fitted by Ford

And as far as mpg is concerned I have never checked to see if its better than petrol I only ever just fill it up

I can tell you the tank holds 75l of gas which costs me .79p per liter i get around 250 miles from a tank full

Im sure someone clever will work that out for us now

There is a system that injects oil or somthing into the cylinder to lubricate the valves to stop this happening, not all lpg vehicles have this though

i've had lpg vans and can tell you there a waste of tme for wfp work, you need the torque from a diesel engine to pull the weight, your mpg will be less than half compared to a diesel engine, you will have to be gunning the engine everywhere just to keep up with the flow of traffic!
