[QUOTE="Timbo, post: 8013627, member: 772"] We probably put towards 1million miles on a succession of Volvo 940' turbo's, V90's & 850 T5's & a Ford Explorer back in the day, all running on LPG when it was 30p / litre! Zero engine issues whatsoever other than regular servicing - they were in about every 8 weeks having done 7-8000 miles, the oil stayed almost clear between changes! The issues come about with poor installations and there are alot of those!! They all ran liquid gas injection systems and we swapped the kit from one car to another as we replaced them. They all had flash lube kits on them, not strictly necessary on the Volvo's but given many were turbo's it was very cheap insurance against valve seat wear. The 940's and V90's all had their petrol tanks removed bar a 2 gallon one and a 180 litre gas tank in its place. Very rarely used the petrol. As for viability today, don't know ! [/QUOTE]
