No better or worse than the rest of the notoriously reliable P38 electronics. Most connectors have silicone dust seals as is normal automotive practice.Quote:

Who in Melbourne would anyone recommend installing the vapour injection system?
I can understand the lack of backfiring and the increased potential fuel economy on injection, but I have to admit after having the 3.9 classic and the 4.6 gems P38 put on LPG and after owning three other 3.5/3.9 rangies on LPG the only time they have ever front fired is realistically my own fault. Also the economy figures don't seem to be that much better than what I have found I get with single point.
I can put all my frontfires down to almost empty LPG tanks and me sinking the boot in from idle.
I even once had a huge one, which caused half of the LPG to flow out to the engine bay after blowing a grommit off the mixer, but the car still ran, slightly rough, on petrol even though I was unaware the air intake had come off also between the maf and the engine.
When I keep at least a fifth of a tank of LPG at all times I simply haven't had an issue, and believe me I often drive my poor cars as if I stole them.
On the bosch I am told its a different thing, but I wouldn't discount it on GEMS or the old 14CUX setups putting a single point injection system on. Just make sure the ring has a large enough diameter and you always have plenty of LPG in the tank, and as beeutey says the proper plugs etc.
Power wise on either of mine I can't tell the difference between petrol of LPG, except a slight lack when towing heavy loads up a gradient on LPG.
just my 5 cents :)
