Hi all,


I'm so glad to find this forum since there are not too many Blazers in my country so I don't have anybody to talk about my truck [&:]

I have a 98 Blazer LS, I love it and is a great SUV, it has more than 200K miles (I know!!) but even so it gives me a great performance. Here in Costa Rica the fuel is VERY EXPENSIVE, so you will find only small engines cars (from 800cc to 1600cc most likely) or diesel cars (yes... here diesel is cheaper than Gas), that is why is rare find a 4300cc car . Because of that, my car has a LP Gas system, it is popular here and sometimes in Europe, basically my car works with both regular fuel and LP Gas, it has 2 different tanks of fuel and it has 6 additional injectors for LP gas, also an extra computer that emulates fuel injection from main computer to LP injectors. The reason ?? well LP gas is really cheaper that regular GAS (like 45% less), also it is cleaner and it has some other benefits.

Anyway that is a description of my lovely Blazer, again... I'm so glad to find this forum!!

Ive always wanted to see pics of the LPG conversion. Also is there any power gain or loss with LPG over gas?

I'll take some pics soon and post them (maybe tomorrow), and yes, I lose aprox 8-10HP if car is running in LP, but honestly I don't feel that, maybe if I go on a very tilted hill.
