I got the same question. Just about to buy a VL Berlina Wagon Turbo running dual fual, debating whether to get it setup for gas dedicated (injected gas?) or just ditch the gas all together.

x-zempt thats a completly different question lol. its a big choice deciding which fuel to keep, but straight gas is the way to go whenever gas is involved... to remove the gas system isnt a major event, as long as there is no power getting tothe lockoff on the tank then no gas will be coming out. take your time and study the system, figure out how it works and why. then asses if you think you can pull it out yourself.

No, I was also wondering the same thing as him. But also explained what else I was thinking The whole drivline is guna be put into a SL or Calais, I am guessing it will be VERY expensive to get an injected gas setup hooked up. Thanks misk Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

ah sorry lol confused me a bit, im a simple man gas injection would have to be a complete new system, which go for around $4500, $2k of which u can get back from the rebate. a gas research system can still be quite good and sone cheap using second hand parts. but in any case, you need to weigh up the situation, how much your willing to spend, what you want from the car etc. if you already have the tank and safety system installed, thats half the job done. would prolby need upgraded gas lines, twin b2 converters, gas research t/b and 2 outlets on the tank (if you were going gas reseach) Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
