Hi,

Can anyone recommend an approved installer in the North West that could
convert my Merc Vito Diesel?

Has anyone here had a Diesel converted to LPG?

All the best,

Jach

You cant convert a diesel, you can only have LPG as an additional fuel.

You can, there is a Taxi in Accrington that was converted some years ago.
The bloke who did it was called Len and was in a unit at Accy Gas(now
gone). He fitted a spark injection system and some other stuff.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

So it's no longer a diesel engine.
It would be far easier just to replace the engine with a petrol engine, then
convert that, than to try to convert a diesel engine into a spark ignition
engine.

Hi Simon,

When you say additional fuel, I assume that LPG & Diesel are mixed?

What percentage of LPG can be mixed with Diesel?

Cheers,
