If I convert my Mazda Tribute to LPG will I still be able to tow?  I don't think it should make a difference to the cars ability to do the job but want to be sure.

If anyone uses LPG can you smell it in the car?

Thanks in advance

Hi Valerie, I had a volvo244 converted to gas in 1979 when it was a fairly new thing on the market, ran it for several years and can't remember there being any problem in loss of power. I used to tow various things with it the biggest being a 30ft long trailer with a boat on it.

I am assuming that the modern converstion is as good if not even better, biggest annoyance back then was the size of the gas tank in the boot, thankfully the volvo had a very big boot so it did not cos me too many problems.

Hopefully a more up to date answer will be along soon.

BTW, it used to cost me 50p per gallon for gas and £2.75 for petrol, consumption was around the same but obviously with petrol it was a lot more expensive.
