Im about to purchase a 98 model with LPG conversion fitted and thinking of adding a snorkel to compliment the rest of the package. When I enquired about prices and fitment I was told that the vehicle will also need a tune as a snorkel will change the air flow rates and cause problems. Has anybody else out there had LPG conversion and a snorkel fitted? I currently own a modified Vitara and when I had the snorkel fitted I was recommended to also fit extractors, does anybody subjest this a good option?

I haven't done it myself, but I have heard of difficulties with snorkels & LPG. The main thing is that it can be tuned for being stationary but that is thrown out the window when moving.
Sometimes you will be moving @ 100km/h whilst doing 2500revs & others you may only be doing 15km/h @ 2500 revs. Its hard to tune for this.
One guy did turn his snorkel around & that did seem to help. The other option maybe is to use a dust filter unit (Donaldson) rather than the normal scoop.
