lpg conversion lumina
Hi everyone,
I am searching for a kit to convert my lumina from petrol to lpg gas (meaning that it is possible to change from lpg to petrol and the other way round at the push of a button). Does anyone know of any kits or producers of kits for lpg conversion, or has anybody here ever converted their lumina to lpg already?  I am asking because here in Europe petrol prices are going through the roof!!  (converting from euros per liter to dollars per gallon that is about 7,63 Dollars per Gallon )Any help at all is greatly appreciated!!!!!! Thank you in advance.

Re: lpg conversion lumina
Check with LPG distributor, I would think they would know all about it. They do here in the states because they convert all the vehicles to it.

Re: lpg conversion lumina
Hi,
thank you very much for your advice, but unlike in the United States, the lpg distributors here in Europe are not too helpful when it comes to lpg conversion in a chevrolet lumina.  The reason for this is quite simple: the chevrolet lumina has never been sold in Europe and so nobody here knows anything about it.  Therefore the only advice from lpg distributors is that they could "try to adapt" some existing kit, which would take approximately a week and would cost at least some 4500 dollars (which would be a lot more than the car is worth).  Does anyone have any ideas or knows of any kits for conversion to lpg?

Re: lpg conversion lumina
I know the big 3 make industrial versions of some of their engines. At work now we have a Hyster forktruck with a GM 4.3 L that runs on propane, also have Chrysler 318 V8 and small Ford 4 cylnders that run on propane. Mabey you can do some research and see if their is and industrial version of the engine in your Lumina, that might be a start. Another place to look is generators, I know they make generator engines that are duel fuel and can be switched over to run on different fuels.

Re: lpg conversion lumina
I saw a couple of UK conversion makers that have a setup for the 3.4 in the Impala...that's as close as I got...
