My 17 year old 6 cyl MB is thriving on LPG, been over 3 years now and the head has just been off because of an external oil leak, head reported as in perfect condition.
It runs as smoothly on gas as petrol but it doesn't have quite the initial power that it has on petrol but is still more than adequate.
We now have two LPG cars, when we replace one it will be with another petrol engined car and if it isn't already on LPG it will be converted.
My LPG man likes doing MB's, engines are tough and well sorted with decent valves that give no trouble...remember though that some 4 pot petrol MB engines have a single timing chain, that needs renewing around 80k miles, best check before you buy cos it won't be a cheap job.
I'm glad others are so anti, if too many jumped on the bandwagon Chancellor Turpin would up the tax take on the stuff and ruin it for us, you anti's please carry on as you are now, if you'd like to take the mickey please that would be good hopefully put a few more off..;)
