AboutDavid Scott Expertise Questions regarding the advisability of different kinds of modifications to Samurai/Sidekick/Tracker or various kinds of off-road usage. I will not attempt to do more than provide links for questions about other Suzukis such as Vitara, Grand Vitara, etc. I may or may not give generalized advice for newer models, but have no experience regarding newer models, and will not attempt to give more than the most generalized answers for questions regarding vehicles later than '93 manufacture. I will however, if possible, provide a link that will help you contact a professional in your region.
Experience I've been a professional mechanic for over thirty five years, live in the center of the Rocky Mountains, and have been active in exploring the old mining/4wd roads for decades. I've specific experience with Samurai modification, because that's my personal vehicle.
Education/Credentials Thirty five years of advanced, intensive classes for experienced professionals only. Manufacturer seminars and training classes averaging four to six weeks per year. I'm now a professional heavy duty fleet mechanic, and no longer deal with issues such as MIL (check engine) lights

Question Hi David,
Hope you are doing good. I would appreciate if you can help me on my fuel
concern. I have a grand Vitara 2008 petrol and would like to add LPG or CNG
as fuel. Please be kind enough to let me know if it is possible to run on LPG
or CNG?. Is it bad for the engine? Thanks a lot
Raj
Answer It can be done. The greatest difficulty will be finding a technician, and a system to install. The cost will probably be such that any savings will take 7-10 years to break even based on systems acquaintances and friends have installed in the past.
