I have no experiance with 2.5 engines but all other Subaru engines are well known as perfect convertible to LPG.

There is no longer power loss with the latest developements of LPG injection. As we say here: 'it runs like a sewing machien'.

There are cheaper systems but than You have powerloss and more technical problems.

 

I understand Subaru Belgium has some factory conversions available as well, probabely the same as the one sold in by subaru France ?

Do you have any info wether that system is of the latest generation you're talking about ?

My point is that 90% of the used outbacks i could find on the french market have the factory LPG conversion kit: that's the one I investigating on ;-)

 

Thanks for input, and check your emails !

 

just to answer to another question regarding the LPG distribution network: yes it's quite easy to find LPG anywhere in france but I reckon you'll have to use standard fuel once in a while specialy in remote country side or mountain. No problem arround big cities or along major roads...

thanks dude :-)

I heard there could be some issues with the valves seats (don't know how to call that in english, i mean the part of the gazket on top of the cylinder where the valve close the cylinder ?)

i understand the gazket is not strong part of the engine, so...

[If Subaru made a TDI...]

...since diesel cars make up about .5% of car sales in the US) there will not be a single diesel here in 2006 I think when the more stringent emissions regs go into effect for diesel engines. Subaru would waste far too much money for an increase in maybe 2000 cars a year if they offered a diesel.

 

thinking of world wide market, at least 60% of the cars sold in europe run on diesel with vert strict emission regulations since 2000

 

Besides, that money would be better spent coming up with a new head gasket for when our legacy needs it done. [/b]

good point, and one should consider the experience of the two major euro diesel manufacturer: VW/audi and Peugeot. It could take a while before Sub catch up with tem...

but one thing they'll never get is the boxer's sound ! (diesels sound like ****)

Hi there, first post on the board (beer )

question mostly for euro readers as LPG seems very marginal on the other side of the pound: is LPG with the 2.5L 2000' engine a good idea ? any issues with that setup ? What sort of milleage can I expect without major problems arise ?

bottom line is i'm thinking of getting a used Outback and most of them come with LPG in France. (with petrol at 1 euro/litre don't ask why )

thanks for input !
