don't do it


if it has the large plastic box on the throttle body you will blow it to
pieces use multi point , or put a metal pipe where the box is

I have a 94 saab 2.0 nonturbo 9000 CSE which has been on gas for nearly 2
years. It is a standard mixer system with a toroidal tank in the boot. I
used to get 33 mpg on petrol at 70-75 on the motorway. I get 24-25 on LPG.
I have never had a backfire or anything. It was installed by Motorgas
Conversions in Accrington, Lancs (www.motorgasconversions.co.uk) and looked after
by them (albeit it is just normal servicing + hooking it up to the laptop
to check everything is OK). I would recommend them thoroughly.

To me it means I can drive a nice big comfy car with all the toys for the
price of running a Fiesta. email me if you want any further details

BPV servicing in Slough have done LPG conversions and also service Saabs, my
old Saab 9000 Turbo was serviced there many times. Barry is always helpful
and I never had any complaints.
I have a VW now so haven't been there for a 9 months or so
