Hey all,
has anyone else noticed that lpg is getting harder to get? All my local servos have stopped selling it and I am now looking at the nearest being 20ks away and ridiculously expensive. I almost got stuck in Qld last year because the servo I was going to decided to stop selling it. Luckily I had enough to drive the 120kms to refuel.
Having a dedicated BF Falcon also means that if I wanted to change it would mean selling the car, which is basically worthless now , or rebuilding it with a petrol engine. As I have extensively modified my mate I don't really want to sell it anyway.
the govt isn't interested either. :twisted: :x

no need to rebuild with a 'petrol engine' as yours should be fine [unless it's high compression?]

to convert to petrol you would need to change a 'few' items. possible but maybe $$.

To the best of my knowledge I would agree, un Perth too Yes they are disappearing. I believe it is a government initiative, inline with the current UN agenda I think its part of the UN2030, but being accelerated due to the Global Boiling and climate change we seem to be witnessing all round the world. I think the plan is to remove LNG / LPG as a cheap clean energy source, which it was a little while ago it was. So yes its only going to get harder and harder to find....

Hope this helps
