Dont know of anyone who has done a conversion, but i'd certainly be interested to see the results. Main issue I guess is that there is no spare wheel well, which limits you to a tank in the boot, or raising the boot and unfortunately the boot isn't huge to start with. The second problem is that (unless i'm mistaken) the majority of XVs are Diesels so there likely few people who have considered doing this. I had my Forester converted at Leeds LPG, with a KING LPG system, while the system is fine ( has worked flawlessly since installation 3 years ago) and the installation was quick, i dont know if I would reccomend them for a new car such as the XV... they are perhaps a little cheap and chearfull. Best of luck if you do go ahead with it and let us know the results. (PS. dont listen to the LPG naysayers)
September 12, 20178 yr Author Thanks Swayze, I ran a 3litre outback on LPG for over 70,000 miles about 5 years ago and it was great. You are right the XV has no space in the rear for the tank...☹️ Had to rule it out. Have gone for a Suzuki Kizashi instead.
