Car Forum / Saab Cars / June 2004900i with LPG - is it possible? how?
Hi everybody In a few days I'll get a Saab 900i '87, I hope. Considering petrol price nowadays, I'll need an LPG installation. but... Some people from workshops I've called said they won't do LPG in a car with a mechanical injection. I know it's possible, but it needs to have some protection installed in a case of small gas explosions when it sometimes moves back from the cylinders, to prevent destruction of the element which doses gas (I'm not sure of it's english name - throttle?). So, from what I've heard, mounting safety valves on a saab commutator is difficult because of it's round shape (strict tightness is needed). Also, some manufactured safety devices doesn't fit into saab pipes because of their small diameter. I would be really, really grateful for any sugestions on how to resolve it. Maybe there's a good, clean solution, and those guys just didn't think of it (saab isn't to popular here). thanks a lot Amiran@NOSPAMtlen.pl > I would be really, really grateful for any sugestions on how to resolve > it. Maybe there's a good, clean solution, and those guys just didn't > think of it (saab isn't to popular here). Come to NL, or B or I where LPG was/is used, also in Saab turbos. Advanced, 3rd generation LPG systems no longer have an evaporator but use computer controlled liquid LPG injection.

I have 900i without turbo). greets Amiran >>> I would be really, really grateful for any sugestions on how to resolve >>> it.

I have 900i without turbo). so my question remains - how to install 2nd generation lpg in saab 900i engine (no turbo), namely - how to prevent gas explosions destroying air flow system? Gas injection in liquid phase is quite a new solution, so maybe there are people with older LPG installations in 900i? thanks a lot amiran Hi Amiran, I live in Holland. I drive a 1989 Saab 900i on LPG. Funny: I was thinking of getting the LPG system out, because I dont drive enough to justify the extra tax they charge for a car with LPG over here. Or maybe even sell the car altogether. (Lucky me I still have Sven the good old 1980 99 ... :-) What exactly do you want to know? I can simply open the hood (bonnet) and have a look for you.

I would like to know where were security valves installed (between air filter and the engine, I guess). If you have a digital camera maybe you could send me some photos of this wicked thing? It could be easier than trying to describe it, and I could show them to mechanic which would install lpg. thanks a lot! amiran @ tlen dot pl |
