  • Snorkel fitted on to LPG setup

    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.

    Cheers

      Cheers for that, I guess once I fit the snorkel theres no going back. Most of the driving will be done on LPG and extended trip on petrol once the gas runs out.

        You will need to get an extra bit of hose installed (I think they call it a decompression line) The guy who installed my LPG (already had the snorkel) put it in for me and i have had no issues.
