Hi,

Ihm from Germany and I love the Us Trucks/SUV!
Driving a Ford Expedition 4,6 V8, 215HP, build in 2001.
Do I need Flashlube by using LPG?

cheers

Dirk

 

Does it use LP Gas?

I did some research, and it looks like this??: https://www.vanmeenen.com/LPG-autoga.../flashlube.htm

 

Yes driving on lpg, because the gas cost in Germany almost 2,5 more than in the use. LPG needs 20% more then gas, and so I pay the same gas price like in the use.
But my questions is (yes thats what I mean) does the 4,6 V2 flashlube by driving on gas or I got no problems with the ventils? I know the hemi doesn't need flash lube.

 

I would think as long as you are using quality motor oil and filter, it should be fine.

LPG is rather cleaner burning than gas.

In the USA we run a lot of gensets that will either run on gas, LPG or NG with no issues all the time.

 

Many thanks for answer.
for example dodge 4,7 V8 or Tahoe 5,3 got problems with the valves by using LPG.
So I wanna know, does the Triton 4,6 V2 get any problems with the valves using LPG?

 

Ford ran these engines on LPG for a little while.

Most people complained of hard to start or the valve for the propane wouldn't kick out or get stuck open (not a good situation). Not the engine valves you are thinking of... it's the valve that controls the propane!

Never really took off in the good ole US of A.

 

Actually propane is hard on exhaust valves, if you read the promo material linked.

 

Hi there,
Driving a LPG F150 97 4,6 liters for a long time now in France, I advice you to fill with your gasoline, a lead substitute ! if you have the stock factory valves, they have the risk of leaks as the LPG is agressive . if you make some works on your engine, change the valves to reinforced ones that can support LPG without problem.
I don't know the quality of "flashlube" so you can find easily many other brand of lead substitute in many auto markets .
