Hi Gents, I just bought myself another P38...slightly better version of the 50th I already have : o) It comes with an LPG install and I'm wondering if it is worth retaining, or just strip it off... Is it complicated to remove?
As you can see I know nothing about LPG...so I'm all ears

Deleted your duplicate. If the LPG system works, leave it. If it doesn't, fix it, they aren't complicated and a 210 mile trip for around £50 has got to be worthwhile. What system is it? Does it have additional LPG injectors per cylinder or just a mixer attached to the throttle body?

Biggest problem your likely to have is finding somewhere to fill it round that area - I drive on gas on a daily basis (though not a p38) and the last 18 months has seen stations disappearing leaving gaps in a few areas that were previosuly fairly well catered for.

https://autogas.app/ shows locations of stations

https://www.lpgforum.co.uk/ also gives more general LPG help if you need it.

Photos of the install if you don't know what you have may help - its a bit easier to upload photos on the other forum if you need to do so and can't here, though Gillbertd has put a sticky up on doing so here.

Tnx. I pick it up this w/e so will do some photos

Shell at Addlestone is cheap and there's 3 more expensive (99.9 per litre) near Heathrow so not a complete oasis like some areas of the country. The thing is, just because you've got LPG you don't necessarily have to use it, you can always run on petrol if you have to (or have money to burn). I'm lucky in as much as I have 5 filling stations within 10 miles so can always fill up near to home. When I'm going any distance, or over the range of a full tank, I can check the autogas.app to find somewhere on my route where I can fill up. Not much difference to the range anxiety that EV drivers talk about (other than it takes me a lot less time to fill up), it just might require a bit more forward planning.

I think LPG outlets are closing faster than most people realize ---- used to be 4 near me (5 mile or so) Now none If you can't afford to run a vehicle then get rid of it ----- tough but true ----- I've got a vogue I use weekend and going days out etc But use my 300tdi daily at 35 mpg too

Those of us that run LPG know which stations have closed and which are still there. Some parts of the country are well supplied while there are areas that aren't. It depends how you intend using the car. If you are going to be using it every day and doing long distances (as I do), then running on half price fuel definitely makes a difference. If it is going to be used at odd times for short journeys, then run on LPG when you can and petrol when you can't.

There are enough around to make it worthwhile but you can no longer count on filling up en route without a diversion. I take half a tank of petrol and normally end up doing longer (for me) journeys 50:50 LPG and petrol. It's still a significant saving.

Still clearing other issues on the "new" one. So not really got round to the lpg yet...but it's bi-gas.
.is that any good?

Bigas is made by AEB, one of the best known and most widely supported systems so you'd have no problems with it even if it needs any work. Parts are cheap too if anything needs replacing to get it spot on.
