I have run on LPG for 16 years now in Mercs, Vovos, Jaguars, Vauxhall and finally Lexus LS200 98 and all without Flashlube and all without problems.

They are easy to fit when the conversion is done so wont add much to the installation.

Good luck Mike

My installer added one as it came with the kit he bought for the job. It isn't really necessary although I see no harm in using it anyway.

I have had my Ls400 fitted with L.P.G. which also came with flash lube,done at the same place as Parrot of doom,it does an important job.

Can you tell me what that job is as I thought it was the same as when cars switched over from Non Leaded Petrol which if you didnt put an additive in with the petrol it would burn your valves seats out eventualy.

These days all car engines come with harden valve seats so there is no reason to add any additives.

Using LPG is well documented doesnt have the same damaging constituents that petrol does and is far less damaging on engine wear.
