And if, according to a person I contacted, the English and the Italians are the best at that. But it remains much less common than converting petrol to LPG. In France, it seems that Topgas.org knows how to do it, but this has not yet become part of everyday life, so it almost never shows. And then at what price ...

Curious assembly of diesel + LPG !!! it should not be planned by Mines in France, but if it removes the nuisance of diesel (particles. NOx ..) it is always good. The French manufacturers Pigeot with their Hdi are not going to bother with such an assembly.

On my R25 registration card, the type is EG (petrol / gas) for a petrol engine vehicle that can also run on LPG. The problem is that it is impossible to self-service the filling of the tank + the size of the trunk to have correct autonomy. Properly adjusted, it consumes 10 liters per 100 km at 0,70 cts euros / liter. Nothing to say.

Gasoline or LPG: it works ==> my R25 GTX 2,2 liters from 1989 has just passed 300000 km with the original engine and valves.

I mean with a bank card at the pump, at night for example off the highway.

Well towards my house, there was a LPG pump 24 hours a day.

Here is another link on a company that converts diesels to LPG:
http://www.meagan-ve.co.uk/

as you said Targol, it did not cross the Channel, this site is also in England, but they are more transparent here: they say reduce costs 25% fuel, on the other hand conso question they say no more, CO2 the same, on the other hand NOx and particles, we can still imagine that it decreases.

It's natural gas, not LPG. But that shouldn't change much about NOx. I would rather tend to think that they would drop.

: Arrow: The fact remains that mounting an LPG or CNG kit would be more efficient on diesel than on petrol ...
Unfortunately this is not planned in France on passenger cars ... While this type of assembly exists on buses. :x
