Re: IML: lpg conversions

["mike and linda sutton" <mikanlin62@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Used to do lpg conversions back in the day to lift trucks and other 
industrial and commercial type stuff, its basically a no brainer.  Do a 
google search for Impco and see what you find, they were the predominant 
supplier of parts we used. Its very simple, you size a mixer ( carb ) to the 
engine, you add a vaporizer and regulator to convert the liquid lpg to a 
gaseous state and keep it at the correct pressure. You have to tap into the 
cooling system to provide hot water to the vaporizer to keep it from 
freezing up, which is generally done by tapping into the heater hoses, and 
you have to have a lockoff valve to keep the fuel shut off when it is not 
needed, as such when the engine is not running or the key is on but the 
engine is not running. The only other things are the plumbing AND a suitable 
tank.  One can also tailor the engine to the unique qualities of lpg as a 
fuel, otherwise it has its pluses and minuses.
