I wish my bike ran on LPG!

[Matt Bleck]

So could it be done.

I was thinking throw away me petrol tank and then steel the gas bottle out of the LPG heater while the missas aint lookin. Then get some poor bastard to sort out the rest!!!

But don't worry you won't read about some idiot blowing him self up whilst try to fill his LPG Gixxer at the gas station tomorrow.

Surley someone out there has thought of it? The only problem that I can think of would be making the right shaped tank to fit in the bike without being obtrusive. Do LGP tanks have to be rounded, so to speak?

What ya reckon, yeah, or am I just

[Jackrat]

LPG tanks get cold mate,,,REAL COLD.

Pity we sold our gas to the Japanese for a quick buck eh? I got a Gas Instalation Certificate around somewhere,but haven't done a conversion for over 20 yrs,maybe I could experiment on someones bike?

[NordieBoy]

So there will be no need to stop at pubs on a ride out.
The tank bag of stubbies will be sweet

A dual fuel dual sport perhaps?

Bwahahaha, at least you'd take the cager that ran you over with you

Very tallented guy by the name of Stu Ploughman from Wellington once converted an AX100 to LPG. He's also credited with building a converter to tune Jet Skis on a Dynojet rolling road and making a fuel injection system for an 89 GSXR400. Tragically killed at that cunt of a 45kph bridge between Featherston and Martinborough.

And that would be bad?

[R6_kid:Me]

surely it could be under the seat or something like hte Suzuki impulse (used the 'tank' for storage).

How difficult is it to do? Does the engine need to be modded or is it just the fuel intake?

I am no expert on this but our van is on LPG. Dual fuel carb L300. It has a mixer that feed the mix in to the conventional carb,but I assume if you have fuel injection it would be possible for a bike. The tank is going to be a problem and the van doesn't go as many km per litre on LPG as it does on petrol so the range will be less. But it could be done. LPG is a great fuel and burns clean so tuned right it would run well.

my experience of slamming nuts into tanks - u hit at some force (put a nice dent in my last tank that i did this, then i couldnt walk......apparently due to my leg, but i wonder).
I would hate to detonate a bomb by doing this although it would a good way to go out, with a bang and all

Hey dude.

I think the only problem with an l.p.g rigg would be the slight drop in engine performance as the bottle begins to empty. The pressure inside the bottle will drop. As this occurs, the amount of kinetic needed to push the gas particles from an area of high concentration. To an area of low concentration. Will become less. alot less.
This will effect the flow rate of the gas which will also affect the amount of gas mixing with the air. Which could mean a lean mixture.
You'll have to jack up the compression. Fit solenoids, hoses and the tank...
The tank might not go down well. The way that it is now.
They could try manufacturing a special bottle. But this will be subjected to rigorous safety approval and hours, weeks, or months of stress testing.
The tank will also add a little bit of weight to your bike.

But nevermind all that shit bro. I've seen anti-gravity in full effect.
Gyroscopics, mono-atomic gold, superconductors, even a synthetic material.
That has the same density as air.

Hmmm. I might just put the knifes on.

I did on Tuesday morning. Didn't take an LPG conversion either. Just a doctor, a blade, a thing like a crochet hook and a mini mig welder. Didn't hurt bugger all either.
