[T3] LPG conversion (was Re: type3-d Digest V02 #77)


James,

	I remember reading a bit about LPG conversions of air-cooled
engines -- a difficulty seemed to be that LPG conversions on water-cooled
cars rely on the liquid coolant to do some sort of preheating.  Ah, Google
turns up the following:

(http://f23.parsimony.net/forum51699/messages/90.htm)
''There is one particular problem with the VW engine that makes it a
little more complicated than with water cooled cars. Normally the
water cooling is used to warm the LPG vapour as it vapourises from
liquid to gas before feeding it to the engine. In an aircooled car,
another method has to be used to supply this heat. There are three
methods I'm aware of with aircooled VWs...''

This may also be of interest:

	I haven't ever researched the topic, but I only seem to recall
such conversions being discussed with carburetors as part of the system,
not fuel injection. <shrug>

Good luck!
