Does LPG wear out the engine more than petrol?
"A Rodgers" arodgers wrote in message ... Does LPG wear out an engine more than using petrol? Should I expect a shorter life from a car that has been run on LPG or at least more repairs needed? Is it more risky buying a 2nd hand car with over 100k on clock that has been converted to run on LPG than a standard petrol one?Could be why the original owner got shot of it? LPG is maybe cleaner, and doesn't contaminate the oil as much, but it's got nothing in the way of upper cylinder lubricant. Which leads to higher wear rates on anything in the upper cylinder (ie valves, valve seats)
