Does anyone know if a duel fuel version will be produced, or if a kit is available to fit

As there is more than ample room in the boot I think that 2 tanks could be fitted to the sides of the boot, increasing the amount of LPG that you can carry without the lose of the spare wheel well

Can't see Skoda launching an LPG Superb. They are more likely to introduce more Greenline models, add stop/start technology and maybe one day a dual fuel battery hybrid?

However most modern car's can be converted to LPG, you just need to enquire with a local specialist.

Be warned, LPG conversions can void manufacturers warranty's.

Hi,

I had this very conversation regarding lpg conversion with my lpg garage yesterday whilst I was having my lpg Peugeot 406 mot'd.

The guy who runs the place is very helpful and very knowledgable. His response was that it depends on the engine code as to whether there is a kit available.

Lpg has evolved to the stage now that you can buy a kit, specific to the car, as opposed to a generic, 4 cylinder or 6 cylinder kit. Some now even utilise the petrol injectors instead of having to drill cylinder heads etc, so are truely modular.

Having had two cars converted I would have no qualms in having it done again.

My quandary is whether I go for the Superb Combi Elegance in the diesel 170 DSG or one of petrol DSG variants and have it converted (warranty issues aside), may start a new thread on that one!!

If I went down the lpg route my heart would say go for the V6, my head would say go for the 1.8 and enjoy the cheaper motoring!!

Decisions, decisions!!

Hi,

Had an Opel Vectra fitted by the dealer preserving the warranty. At 120.000 km it sounded like a diesel. When we opened the engine, the exhaust valves looked like flowers - radial cracks. quite pretty. Still, I have to admit, fixing it was quite cheap and easy.

LPG burns hotter and 'drier'. There's some power loss as well. I personally am not going back there, found my new love in diesels

LPG diesel is not the same as LPG converted petrol motors. If done on a diesel it is only used to assist the burn as diesel motors do not burn all the fuel. It has a huge impact on performance giving the motor more power. It was originally used for this purpose on trucks back in the early 1980's for more power and here in Australia the manufacturers refused to warranty the broken bits caused by it. As a by product of more power there is a gain in less fuel (diesel) used so you have your cake and eat it too. The bottle would not have to be as big as the demand for LPG in the system is a lot less, being bled in at a fraction of the rate of the diesel fuel. I too have thought about it but I don't think Skoda would be impressed.
