Subject: LPG for @: absolutely not !!


Hi all !

Well only a short consideration about LPG for @ and bikes in general:

IT'S DANGEROUS !!!

The LPG is commonly used here in Italy for cars (my old car was running 
with it); it's good for low revs engines, it's cheaper and less 
pollutant than unleaded fuel (actually one good thing for all old cars 
without catalizator).
BUT OBVIOUSLY the LPG tank must be law approved (usually it's one tank 
inside another reinforced tank) because LPG is dangerous in case of 
accident: the car can explode not only on the tank (I repeat: law 
approved), but especially on the injection/carburetor, where the LPG go 
inside the engine !! (Yeah, people burns inside the car...)
After the installation the modified car must be approved by the 
Motorizzazione Civile (ehm, it's our "Tuev").
In addictions from now you can't park anymore your car on the 
underground park sites by law !! (the LPG can go outside and can 
explodes).

Last but not least in Italy it's against the law to modify EVERY bike to 
LPG.

At the end of the story it's very dangerous to use LPG on bikes in 
general, especially on OFF ROAD bike.... (if you fall down, probably all 
people that living around 2Km will know it immediately...)
I hope to stop this question.

Bye
