    Ask Smithy Xtra Murano LPG conversion

    Nissan Nissan Advice Nissan Murano Nissan Murano Advice Nissan Murano 2005
    Do you know if there is anyone who converts Nissan Murano to LPG? I tried one place and they said there wasn't a kit made for it. I would really like to buy a second hand one, perhaps a 2005 model, but I have concerns about fuel cost as I?m moving from a small car?

    The reason you can’t find a kit for it is that there has been so much trouble with Nissans converted to LPG that many system manufacturers have withdrawn their kits from the market, or simply haven’t bothered to develop them. The problem stems from the catalytic converter being located so close to the engine, and when the converter starts to break down as it does over time, the powder that results can be sucked back into the engine when the inlet valve opens. It’s very abrasive, so when that happens, and it can happen on petrol as well as LPG, the engine wears and begins to burn oil. The problem for anyone who converts his or her car to LPG is that Nissan refuses point blank to honour its warranty. The short answer is don’t convert Nissans to LPG. It also happens on cars not running LPG, so anyone with oil burning problems should be concerned.
