Some do, Harry. The Ford Falcon and the Holden both offer LPG versions of
their 6 cyl. sedans. Some years ago I bought an ED Falcon with LPG
installed by Ford locally. They made such a lousy job of it that with this
model I have now I went to a tried and trusted local installer to my
complete satisfaction. However now you can buy an LPG dedicated Ford, and
also, I believe, an LPG version of the Holden, offered as an option.. Of
course this is in Australia.
Re your other remarks about "plates clogging with bubbles", what's new?
That is called "polarization" and we learnt about that in high school
science in 1936 when we made voltaic cells as a science experiment.
Vheers,
Bob VK6BE..
