Implications for lpg

WE ARE considering upgrading our 2000 Kia Carnival, but would like to convert to LPG with the new vehicle. Are Kias compatible with LPG? We have heard that some manufacturers discourage LPG due to the metal used in their pistons. Could you please advise of manufacturers with cars on LPG.

KIA doesn't recommend fitting its cars with LPG. But if it is fitted, Kia will continue to honour the warranty, provided the fault or problem cannot be attributed to the LPG system. Some companies automatically void the entire warranty when an LPG system is fitted. You should talk to the installer about the warranty he offers and make sure you fully understand it. Generally, the installer must cover the LPG system components and the installation, leaving the carmaker to pick up the cover for the rest. If an engine problem arises a dispute can arise between the installer and the carmaker.
