Are you planning "Dual-use"..Both natuarally aspirated with a Lpg add-on to supplement or JUST lpg? Lpg only just uses tank or bottle pressure.

Hi Kev,

I have been planning a similar system in my F-600.

I've considered the system Here

Just scroll down a bit to the dual fuel model. It doesn't matter what kind of fuel pump you use. It uses an electric solenoid type valve to switch from propane to gasoline and back etc.

It doesn't even matter what carb you have either 2v or 4v.

Cheers,


Rick

Just done this to my 55 F100. no need to use electric pump. You fit an electronic solenoid in the mechanical fuel pump line that shuts off the petrol when on LPG.
I am in the UK to and have a section on my web site on how I fitted mine. Though I used an electronic fuel pump. UK Hot Rods: News, tech, chat, email group for hot rods, street rods and kustoms

Hi Kev, hope to be at Hot Rod Drags, so hope to meet you then. Not to many gremlins, had a rear crankcase oil leak, wipers cocked up, and brake M/C bleed by and lost a hub cap. The worst by far is the lost hub cap ;o(

Apart from that it runs perfect, done around 2 thousand mile and loving it!!
