Lpg Conversions

[jimevans501]

I have recently purchased a 2002 RX300 and am now a Lexus convert.

However my previous vehicle was a dual fuel Estate and so whilst the MPG is similiar the costs are substantially different ( the estate had dual fuel fitted when I purchased it)

I have seen conflicting comments regarding the fitting of LPG conversions to the RX300, has anyone actually done it?

Other 4x4 owners have achieved substantial savings and so I am keen to make the conversion but am concerned to "disturb" the cars significant engine management system etc!!!

I got my 2001 Rx in June with the sole intention of converting it to LPG.

It runs like a dream, with no loss of performance and when it comes to filling up, I just use the small change out of the ashtray to pay.

The only thing to watch out for is the difference in tank size that can be fitted, a UK car will take a smaller gas tank than an import and take longer to convert.

My dealer has been great in resetting the engine management system, whilst everthing has been getting tweaked to offer the best performance.

doing 22.1 MPg @ a cost of £1.35 thats gives a rough cost comparrission of 66 mpg.I just love driving a 3.0 litre V6 and worry about the cost

:D

Who did the conversion

Probably a silly question, but does it sound any different?

I mean do you still get the V6 growl (as much as the Lexus sound proofing will let you hear) with LPG?
