P38A LPG

Is it worth keeping on a "toy"

My V8 has a from what i understand has some cheap foreign off brand system, according to the previous owner it never worked for him..

Is it worth keeping and fixing or would it be better to just rip it and all associated bits out.

TBH this car will never be a daily chariot more of an occasional toy, when rebuilt of course..

Also the spare is misplaced


Annnd it needs new lines probably,

Even doing 5kpa mileage lpg could save a grand a year. If it's a multipoint, could well be worth saving.
If not, I might take it off your hands for mine if it's going cheap.

It's 50/50 TBH!

I've also gotta figure out how to empty the fookin thing..

Not too sure of the tank either..

Park it in middle of a field on a windy day with all the windows open and crack a union open on the tank. Think that'll empty it pretty quickly !

That is an idea..

What is your long term plan for the vehicle... that IMHO would dictate what you do...

After having a good DIY Resto, and Pro respray.
Just use it as an occasion toy, use at weekends or every fortnight etc etc..

Ha being me your probably not too far off lol

Junk the system & run it on good 'ole unleaded
nb: been there & still develop a twitch when someone mentions LPG & RV8 in the same conversation.

If a system is already on a vehicle, in GWO & you do average annual miles then probably worth leaving it on BUT
1. You can't use the Channel Tunnel
2. You may pay more on your insurance as it's a modified vehicle.
If it either hasn't got one OR what's on is defective & you do low annual miles then you probably would be better without it.
