Discussion:
Conversion from Lpg to Petrol

Greetings guys, I was asked about converting a Lpg only Hyster to run on petrol only or as dual fuel. Can it be done easily etc.

The wiring is in a poor condition so a rewire is on the cards anyway. Can the tank be used for petrol if opened up and a filler neck fitted.

Can the distributor be run without the impco ecu removed as well as the dash etc. Would like any info from anybody that has done it, as I will only see the machine next week and would like to be more knowledgeable about the pros and cons of doing this.

Model H4.50XM L005A05004D V6 Engine

Thanks
Dave

Fact of the week
The use of "hello" as a telephone greeting is attributed to Thomas Edison. He is said to have suggested it as a simpler alternative to other greetings, such as "Do I get you?" or "Are you there?".
