Hi any idea how you convert my 223 stright six camper to gas,What parts would i need.Were can i get the carb parts.I can get the tank off ebay but it will be the carb parts i would find hard to get as being in the UK.I was told at a classic car show over here in the UK that the army do a carb thats bolts stright on and you dont need to start the engine first on petrol.You can start stright on gas.Any ideas were i could get one.Any help would be great.Thanks Pete

 

Are you talking about converting TO propane, or back to petrol? (gas = petrol over here)

I'd recommend a websearch, there have been a few threads on it here but the Aussies do an awful lot of these on propane and have the good stuff.

 

Hi yes i want to convert to propane.My friend has a 1965 comma camper with a 1725cc engine which is petrol,but he also has propane.He starts up on petrol then switchs to propane,I forget that diffrent words mean diffrent things around the world.Thanks for that.I still want to keep the petrol side of things on my truck

 

Here in the states it'd be called propane, or LPG for liquified propane gas. I'd suggest doing a Google search for vehicle convertions connected to those terms. It's a conversion I've considered doing too. The benefits include a much cleaner burn and no polution to speak of, and higher octane, but the down side includes less MPG and over here a weak refueling network. In the UK I'd think it would be well suited given the fact of lesser distances to travel.

 

the german posted on the flathead forum that he converted his flatty over . i asked what he did maybe send him a pm as i dont think he's answered yet ...................

 

Thank you.very greatfull
