LPG Conversion for a Mercedes Vito DIESEL
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.

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? The LPG is ussually introduced into the inlet manifold, mixed with the air. What percentage of LPG can be mixed with Diesel? Read here....... http://www.mrsharkey.com/lpg.htm
