LPG Conversion

[El_Koko]

Will we have the ability to convert our taunus to LPG (Liquid Petroleum Gas) because it was a pretty popular thing to do with old cars especially ford and opel’s here in my country at least. But will such a thing be possible?

I don't think that LPG was popular in that time, especially in the village. You won't put a gas station for only one car, so most of all Taunus won't have an LPG. Maybe as a mod, that will be interesting)

From what I heard, even back then, Finland banned LPG and CNG for use in passenger cars.

Wasn’t that banned in 2010s or something?

I've googled it now.
I haven't been able to find any source stating which year is it "banned" from.
Also turns out, LPG is somewhat like fuel oil. If you drive with it, your car cannot get registered by car inspectors, and you have to pay a hefty tax or you'll get a massive fine.

Why do people hate Polish fuel?

LPG is propane sometimes mixed with butane instead of normal methane fuel. Law says in finland LPG tanks and equipment are allowed but there can’t be fuel in it. Kind of like fuel oil in MSC. So maybe LPG will be a replacement for fuel oil?

First of all, I know what LPG is, it's still pretty common in my country.
Second, with LPG being so uncommon in Finland, it's unlikely you'd find a refueling station for it, let alone get to convert your car to it.

the garbage truck i drove for a bit ran on CNG - in canada, it's not typical at all for passenger vehicles, but a fair number of our 'service' trucks (garbage trucks, tow trucks, road salters, etc) run on CNG because it's dirt cheap compared to diesel, and the main drawback of CNG (needing specialized equipment to refuel) is negated by the fact that these vehicles return to a depot at the end of the day, where CNG lines are installed. i wouldn't have CNG on a highway tractor like i drive now, but on a service truck? it's good.

So maybe unsuable CNG/LPG pumps in a form of props should be added to the game maybe? That'd be pretty cool

I get your point but maybe it was a bit more popular back then depending on the law. I do know there are still small illegal private sellers. Maybe could be a great thing for a mod or later even an update
