Easy to sort that out, remove all the emissions stuff :P

a 24v in a granada is 195bhp, afer removing the cats and EGR crap, the power rasies to around 210+ bhp

You may be able to fit the ECU and throotle body from the RS to help boost the power aswell, it works with the zetec.

What about a 24V COSSIE with an LPG conversion already done here you would only need the pipes and tank to go with it ????

The one to go for is the BOA coded engine out of the sierra shaped granada.

Looks like this:

Luke, you sure you have not filling stations nearby? My local place isn't a petrol station, it fills gas bottles!

I have a list of places that have LPG, i'll look and see where they are in Rotherham for you. :)

Rawmarsh!!

its a strange problem i dont do may miles - only 4 to work each day and i dont pass a station - i know i dont do a lot of miles therefore i could get away with bad mpg, but i always have loads of vehicles knocking about the place and when the novelty has worn off the van - i dont want to leave it parked up cos ive got summat more economical to use!! :?

Luke as 24vmk2 says check out the local gas bottle fillers, they may have a pump.
Don't think i'd bother converting though looking at the mileage you do

24vmk2 i think we're just lucky here, we got shrewsbury, telford X 2, whitchurch, wem, tern hill, newport, stoke x 3 and i still got a factory dual fuel on the drive i aint used in about 18 months!
