But i do know what you mean but others wont... That is the problem gas is not good as a dual fuel system its either one or the other...
1) engine builds
It has nothing to do with running well or k's/tank
It has to do with the engine lasting and performing better for the totally different fuel (LPG burns hot and dry)
My old VL motor was totally standard and ran LPG for 15 years with no problem.
If you want the most from any set-up, you tailor the engine build (ie.cam etc) to you mods.
Fact is though; For your normal modded 150-200rwkw VLT on gas you don't need any internal motor changes.
2) Dual fuel
Some DF systems suck.
Dual fuel systems on your old carb V8 might have sucked when switching back to petrol, but for most cars and especially for Gas Research systems, they are tuned SEPARATE !
It does not matter if you have the old petrol system in or not- as far as performance go's. Think about it before you comment.
There are plenty of other reasons to remove the old petrol fuel system though.
ANGE- If your dads fuel system is running rough it needs something fixed, just like any "straight petrol" car that is running badly. He would not bother getting it fixed though would he? because he can just run on gas.
Also a tip; injectors get built up grime when you run on LPG all the time.

Thats it mate, good for the top end to have a bit of petrol lubrication too.
If he got the injectors (and mabe oxygen sensor) cleaned 99% chance it would run perfect on petrol.
