I need to know this, it has been paining me for a few years, all these new LPG kits have come onto the market, and with fuel prices in Great Britian being so high, im astounded that we still need to use petrol in our cars that have been so called "converted" to run on Autogas.

Correct me if im wrong, but Im sure I wasnt smoking anything when I saw a forklift truck drive past, powered by propane. The engine in it was a carb type, and a standard 4 cyl Perkins. It ran perfectly, no need for petrol at all.

I am told that it has something to do with the vaporiser needing a supply of heated coolant to stop it from freezing, understandable... but it hasn't answered my question, surely gas fired forklift trucks would suffer the same problem?? why dont they need petrol? and why cant cars just simply run on LPG alone?

I think its also to do with out government, and they dont like people to stop buying ridiculously priced fuel to line their pockets with gold. If we turned to LPG without need for petrol, they would be worried. And soon you'll notice the price of LPG goes through the roof.

I know there are some engineers out there that can reveal the truth, please let us know. thanks.
