Jensen Interceptor
Jensen Interceptor
If I wanted a car that was a real gas-guzzler, could it be modified somehow to be more economical?
What I mean is, I love big, noisy, smelly cars. But I hate low MPG, and I am too responsible to hide from the facts surrounding fossil fuels.
Let's say I spotted a car I really, really wanted (an E-Type Jaguar, for the sake of argument, or a Jensen Interceptor...something that does ten inches per gallon). I could afford it but would feel guilty about the fuel.
Are there any alternative fuels I could use in the car, or ways I could modify the engine? In a previous answer I asked about Ethanol...now a friend has mentioned something called LPG. Can cars run on this instead of petrol?
Do such modifications mean a cut in practicality, for example losing the spare wheel to make way for a second tank?
Thanks!
Classic cars are a little different but you could probably run them on LPG but you'll have difficulty with the tank. If you were thinking about anything with a big diesel engine (Range Rove, Mercedes) then you can run it on vegetable oil at about 95p per litre. You'll need a two tank system, you start the engine on diesel and then when it's warm switch to veg oil. If you pay a mechanic it will cost around £1,250 to convert, if you can do it yourself it will cost around £600 for the kit that you need. You could also use waste veg oil which needs to be cleaned, dried and filtered but will cost you a lot less than 95p per litre Google Elsbett technologies or ATG Glott.
