Problem of the spare

Asked by Hugh Melton

TO MAKE conversion to LPG really attractive, it seems desirable to keep the spare tyre under the car, but with wagons such as my AU Fairmont it seems to be the common practice to relocate the spare in the cargo area. Are there alternatives? Is there a benefit in converting completely to LPG, or is dual-fuel better?

THE advantage of LPG is that you need only one tank, so you get around problems such as having to relocate the spare wheel, but you are relying on having LPG wherever you go. That's not a huge problem because about almost half of the servos in most areas have LPG. But if you want to take a trip around Australia, I would prefer the option of both fuels.
