Dual Fuel X5 GAS/PROPANE
FYI:
I have found a LPG convertion kit that will let you select gas or lpg . The kit comes with a 14 or 16 gal tank that sits where the spare tire is. There is a control unit in the cab that lets you switch from gas to lpg at a push of a button. This control unit also monitors the lpg gas level in the tank. The ECU can be interfaced and tweak if needed. The kit it about $900 and the tank is about $600. Propane is everywhere! just about every gas staion has a tank, 7-11 , quick stops , tool rentals and the list goes on... I am looking for a certified company here in CA that will do the install for me , You could do it yourself , but it has to be installed by a certified installer in ordered to be driven on CA hiways. The only real hard part of the install is drilling the holes in the intake manual for the lpg injectors. I think I have found on certified dealer called Bay Tech that will do this, but no call back from them yet. With the current price of gas, I think this will be a great investment. Here is the link to the product I am looking into... http://poweredbypropane.net/ I am out of state and dont have the email with the tank infor, I will get that when I get back home and put it in this message. The LPG tank looks like a spare tire and sits in the spare tire bay. It comes in two sizes, 14 gal and 16 gal. I will also put a link to an X5 I found in the UK converted with pictures (not the same kit ,but shows the install and the same type of tank). Here is a link with different BMW's converted to LPG: http://www.arunautogas.co.uk/lpg_conversion_bmw.htm http://www.gastech.org.uk/installgallery/bmw_x5.html Here is a little update>>> I decided to sell the X5 and get a new Z4 and convert the Z4 over to LPG. Could take a few months to do... Last edited by acattaneo; 06-27-2008 at 08:55 PM. |
