Auto Parts: LPG conversion of Benz 560SEL?, pep boys, ethonal

Question
Dear Knucklebusters
I am thinking to have a 1986 Mercedes-Benz 560SEL installed with LPG conversion. What is the advantage and disadvantage if the engine is an original one? Under what condition can I do the conversion?
If this old engine is given with the petrol with 10% ethonal for long term, is there anything negativ to the engine?
Kind regards
Amy

Answer
Hi Amy,

Sorry, but you've definitely asked the wrong expert this question. I have never, nor do I ever plan an LP conversion and have never owned/worked on one either. Sorry, I wish I were able to assist you.

Looking for a reputable service technician? My advice on finding a good technician is: Steer clear of the dealership and 'chain' stores like Firestone, Sears, Pep Boys, Monro Muffler/Brake, Midas, etc. as they usually only employ ONE ASE Certified Tech just so they can say they do and chances are, that guy is the asst. manager or manager and is not in the store to diagnose/repair vehicles anyway. Find a service location in the link below or get some names out of the yellow-pages and do a drive-by. Garages that employ ASE Certified Technicians will be marked with the 'Blue-Seal' insignia. If unsure about whether a place employs Certified Techs, just ask to see their credentials. ALL ASE Certified Technicians will be PROUD to show and display their certificate(s).

Thanks for the question, I hope this information was helpful to you.
