Additional Services and Options
Prins LPG
We can arrange for you to have Prins LPG conversions fitted to your vehicle which allow the vehicle to run on petrol or LPG. You liaise with and pay the supplier and we arrange collection and delivery. This is popular on pickup trucks where you still retain the original petrol system and an additional LPG tank is fitted either underneath the vehicle in place of the spare wheel, or behind the cab in the pickup bed. The saving comes from the price of LPG itself which is around half the cost of petrol.
The Prins VSI2 systems are fully automatic. In automatic mode the vehicle still starts on petrol until it reaches the desired operating temperature then automatically switches to LPG. It remains on LPG until you either switch it off or you run out, in which case it automatically switches back to petrol.
The LPG filler is usually fitted at the rear of the vehicle under the rear bumper which means that there is no drilling of the vehicle body work.
LPG is currently just over half the price of petrol. Exhaust emissions are also cleaner.
Dodge Ram LPG Conversion
We have had many Rams converted to run on multi-fuel petrol/LPG. Around 20% of the new Rams we supply are supplied with a Prins LPG conversion. It is by no means necessary and everyone’s requirements differ. It depends on the type of use and mileage that will be done and of course upon how long you want to keep the vehicle.
A 122 litre Tank can be fitted underneath the vehicle (which gives around 100 litres of usable capacity) or alternatively for those looking for a larger range a 180 litre tank can be fitted in the pickup bed. Both sizes give a great range and you still have the petrol tank in reserve.
Please note we do not fit the Prins conversions in house, but we can facilitate the fitment by an authorised Prins installer so that it coincides with your vehicle being ready for collection.
F-150 LPG Conversion
We are the first UK supplier to have had Prins LPG fitted to the new Ford Ecoboost engines. These are a direct injection unit and the system has been developed by Prins specifically for the F-150. It works by still injecting a tiny amount of petrol with the LPG.
It is by no means necessary and everyone’s requirements differ. It depends on the type of use and mileage that will be done and of course upon how long you want to keep the vehicle.
The same as the Rams a 122 litre Tank can be fitted underneath the vehicle (which gives around 100 litres of usable capacity) or alternatively for those looking for a larger range a 180 litre tank can be fitted in the pickup bed. Both sizes give a great range and you still have the petrol tank in reserve.
All Other Vehicles
All other makes and models of vehicle can have an LPG conversion added including the Chevrolet and GMC range of trucks and SUVs. Where “valve care” is required – such as the Vortec range of engines – there is an additional system fitted that adds lubrication with the LPG.
We have a long standing relationship with Quest Motorsport who carry out all our LPG installation and LPG servicing work.
An LPG conversion can be added to new or used vehicles. Please contact us with any queries or for further details.
