xs1100 lpg conversion in it's final stage!

[piet]

This is my second topic about my LPG conversion project,I 'm almost finished with putting the kit on my xs1100 with sidecar,there is only one little gaspipe i have to put between the LPGtank and the vaporator and i have to connect the electric wiring to get two lpgvalves open and then i will fill the LPGtank finally and make a test ride

Now riding on fuel,i need to open the 2 extra carb valves(XS1100stuf) on the homemade air intake part to have a good acceleration till 7500rpm at that point the horsepowers disapears ,when the engine iddle's i can close the 2 valves and turn the trottle wide open, when riding on LPG the valves must stay 100% closed else the valves will probebly burn away due a wrong mixture.


take a tour on my topic again,there are many picture's

Sorry can't read Dutch. Is there a translation?
Why are you converting to LPG anyway? Is it a lot cheaper or something?

[piet]

Hello,use a translation site like this one
http://www.freetranslation.com/
and put a piece of tekst you want in english there,i need my time for the conversion

These are the prices for LPGgas in Europe
Recent volgens de ANWB , alles in euro's/liter.

Belgie 0,31
Duitsland 0,59
Frankrijk 0,56
Griekenland0,47
Engeland 0,58
Ierland 0,42
Italie 0,54
Oostenrijk 0,60
Portugal 0,46
Spanje 0,40
Noorwegen 0,92
Zweden 0,40

one litre fuel kost 1,17 here where i live and LPGgas 0,43euro a litre,so it will bring down my expensive's whith 50%,and the money needed for the LPGkit(1000euro) wiil come back when i sell the cheap to ride combination,but i doubt that that ever will hapen

[stevec5000]

I'm not so sure about the 50% savings. LPG doesn't have as much energy per litre as petrol does it?

[piet]

of course i did calculated that factor,and the big benefit is also the almost clean substantion coming out of my exhaust's living in Holland one of the most poluted air environment on the world!
And it is also wellknown that an exhaust will live's longer when the engine run's on LPGgas.

My 26 years old BMW316sedan car run's perfect on LPGgas too!

That's funny!

I never would have guessed that Holland has bad air pollution.
