Status: offline 		Does anyone have any experience of converting a YS from glo to gas?  Given the price of decent 20/20 or 30 rated fuels in the UK,  plus a definite move across to electric by a lot of the F3a guys which has resulted an fair amount of 160's and 170's coming onto the 2nd hand market, it would seem that converting one to gas/petrol might be worth looking into.........................?  Fuel induction system too complicated a task? 

 Any thoughts?


Regards Bob Vaughan

Status: offline 		If you convert to CDI you can run with no nitro on the 170, gas is not compatible with the O rings and pump parts, so no gas on a YS.
