I’m not sure if that can be done. You’d also need special tanks placed in a spot that isn’t near the rear wheel well where it crumples.

It might be possible, but I’m not sure if it’s safe in a crash.

First of all, Ford engines generally don’t handle LPG very well. Some models don’t have automatic valve adjustment and you have to check them manually every 200,000 km. Since LPG is a dry fuel, you need to check them more often about every 60,000 km.

You should install a system that injects gasoline when the engine reaches 3,000 rpm or higher. This means the savings from using LPG aren’t as great. For example, a car that normally uses 6.5 liters of gasoline per 100 km will use 10 liters of LPG plus an additional 1.5-2 liters of gasoline. Because of this, it will take a lot longer for the cost of installing LPG and driving that many kilometers to become cheaper than just driving on gasoline.

You need to calculate the cost of installation and how many kilometers you drive to see if it’s worth it. Some people have LPG and it works fine for 150,000 km, but it’s up to you to decide.

Ok, I asked about the cost.

The PIRS system costs 1.9. euros, and there’s an optional extra of 400 euros for a valve-cleaning system.

What do you think?

tbh, i don’t know how much you drive, how much fuel costs where you live, or how long you’ll keep the car. You’ll need to do the math yourself to decide if it’s worth it.
