    Pleased with our diesel-gas conversion

    Nissan Nissan Advice Nissan Pathfinder Nissan Pathfinder Advice Nissan Pathfinder 2005
    I was recently reading your column and saw a reader asking about LPG for his diesel and thought I would tell you of our experience. We had our 2005 Nissan Pathfinder 2.5-litre turbo diesel fitted with a dual-fuel system and can say we are very pleased with the result. What was already an efficient, powerful engine has been improved 20- 25 per cent and there has been no issue with it to date to date. I would expect it to take 2-3 years to recoup the cost, but you have the benefit of better performance when towing and excellent economy when not.

    Good information for anyone thinking of converting their diesel to dual-fuel, but it's important to do lots of homework before having your vehicle done. Consult a number of converters to get a feel for their competence, talk to as many of their customers as possible to get feedback on the success or otherwise of the conversion. Converting diesels to dual-fuel is still in its infancy; it's not like converting a petrol engine where there is plenty of experience over a long time, so tread carefully when thinking of doing it.
