LPG jet adaptors

#1 Post by Guffer »

A good friend switched me on to a product which allowed engines like the Jag straight 6 lump to have lpg fitted without drilling the manifold. Unfortunately the business (in Hampshire) has stopped making them due to lack on interest. An internet search since has found these:

The seller is unsure if they will fit. Can the community help? I doubt I will get any answer off any of the jag forums which are so slow to move I think most members are asleep under their flap-caps.

Cross posted on another forum, naughty I know but there are some chaps who know their LPG on there :oops:

Suck it and see, cant see why not, they all seem the same bore.

Only difference seems to be with j type or bosch. And a jags definitely bosch.
Never got on with them myself, they always seemed to lead to petrol running issues. Depends how old the jag is as to wether it will notice i suppose.

Now I dooo like that idea for the Jheep, eventually, maybe, seeing as I only want the petrol for a few mins till it can run on gas, save stripping off the manifold again and drilling holes 8)

Great find, I'll give them a go on the XJR6. Worth it to save tkaing off the intake and drilling the manifold

OK, the kit arrived today and it looks ok although I am going to clean it up a bit. The junction to the lpg jets is a little messy so I am going to remove the jets and get a small drill in there to avoid the flow being interupted.

That said it looks pretty straight forward. I inspected the injector system last weekend and concluded that it should be fairly simple to fit. The question is whether it will affect the petrol combustion.

I know other XJR6s have had this done without problems, so fingers crossed :)
