I AM looking for a used BA Ford Falcon ute with the factory-fitted dedicated LPG engine. Have you heard of any problems with this set-up in this series?

I HAVEN'T heard of major problems, though I have driven three cars -- two sedans and a BF cab-chassis -- with the e-gas engine and all have been slightly different in the way they drive. The first car, a BA sedan, was quite good with few flaws. The second, a BF sedan, wasn't good at all. It stalled, flamed out, idled roughly and generally wasn't pleasant to drive. The third, a BF II XR6 cab-chassis, fell between the two sedans. It didn't stall and didn't flame out, but it was lethargic on acceleration. The Ford LPG system is old technology, which is why it's so variable. Though Ford will be aghast at this suggestion, I'd buy a regular Falcon ute and have it fitted with a sequential gas-injection dual-fuel system. SGI is better technology.
