Who manufactures the best LPG conversion for a CJ7 with a 4.2 engine?
-
for a cj you need a basic single point system or if you can get one, one that has an under carb mixer ideally
-
Thanks for the info. Could you please tell me the difference between a single point system with and without a under carb mixer. Any recommendations for suppliers of under carb mixers for a 258 would be appreciated.

Email tinley tech - they will giv ya chapter and verse and costs on diffrnt systems - just giv them a few days to reply

the only difference is with a single point system it is very basic, the gas is introduced to the engine above the carb and is drawn thru the engine in pretty much the same was as petrol so you have a mixer plate mounted above the carb.the other type ( more seen in the US) is to have a plate that is mounted underneath the carb , the only difference is where the gas is mixed, the improvement with the second type is that there is less chance of the system backfiring, with the first type when then engine coughs it pushes gas back into the airbox which then ignites and blows the air filter houseing to bits. Most lpg suppliers should be able to provide a single point system,that will work on the cj

do as much research as you can speak to installers

:imwitstupid: when I emailed tinley they at least came back with 3 different prices (£800 difference top to bottom) and explained what the differences were

Thanks to all for the advice and information.
