Is this your first LPG conversion?
Second

Did you buy this car with the intention of converting it to LPG? 
Yes

Did you have any initial concerns about converting?
Not at all, I did a lot of research and talked to a lot of people, so I’m very happy.  I spoke to people at Lexus and some people in the same business as me that are very happy with the system.

How did you find the conversion process with Fuelture?
Very quick, very good, no problems at all.

 

How was the actual conversion at the garage?
They are very good.  They know what they are doing.   

How has your car been running since the LPG conversion, any problems?
Car’s running fine, running lovely.  Some of my friends have had a look at it and they really like it. I’m very happy with it. 

Is there anything that you would change about your conversion?
Not really, I suppose the only minor concern that I’ve got, and I think that it is practically impossible.  They weren’t able to put a bigger tank in.  Another company said they could put a bigger tank in but they were also hesitant to answer some of my questions and claimed that the job could be done in a day so I thought “No way, they looked like a cowboy outfit!”

Why did you choose Fuelture to convert your car to LPG?
I looked at the website and you have quite a few satisfied customers on there plus you recommended very good installers. 

What was the key factor about LPG that made you convert?
Cost is the main priority but also it’s a cleaner fuel as well.  I’m actually in the process of applying for my congestion charge exempt.

What advice would you give to someone who was considering converting their car to LPG?
If you do a lot of mileage it is definitely worth it.  It’s not the horror story that it was four or five years ago, I think that this still puts a lot of people off.  When LPG first came around there was a lot of bad installers and people had a lot of problems with their cars.  If you go to a reputable installer, you can't go wrong.
