Can a normal petrol tank be installed on the CNG?

[dikidera]

So I have a CNG S60. I have a serious question, can a normal petrol fuel tank be installed?

I know that the Necam system actually operates the petrol fuel as well, which is a damn bummer when I learned this. That there was no fuel pump, no PEM.

But I also read that the s60 cng/lpg have a different body and I wonder if it permits the retrofit/installation of a normal/regular S60 fuel tank?

I was thinking of converting my NA Denso car to Turbo with bosch, but the Necam system is severely limiting me, after consulting the wiring diagram, the difference between Denso and Bosch is more with the engine wiring harness and could be replaced with one from S60T5, but the lack of a normal fuel tank with fuel pump is the problem.

This isn't as crazy as it sounds, people have turned a Tesla into a ICE car.

yes a few folk have converted teslas to v8s in America. dont know of any in the uk

It is not going to be a bolt in job as the CNG cars have a special floor pan

If like the V70 I saw, it's simply a different mount. Straight swap.

For now the project is underway. The only crucial element left is the wiring harness loom from a 2.5T2 or 2.4T5, since they are identical.

The bifuel fuel pump has no PEM module, and the pump itself may not be the same, but I think this is a very small issue to correct.

I have nothing to lose, as with many people with these engines, I blew a headgasket, which blew my radiator.
From there the head would have needed machining, but so would the block.
I have heard many horror stories of bifuel blocks having the headgaskets pressed into them. The explanation was that LPG and CNG burn hotter, which in turns makes the blocks more malleable, causing the headgasket to sink in the block or something like that.

I have almost finished with taking the engine apart, but I am rather worried about disconnecting the CNG lines, I am hoping that the valves on the CNG tank are closed and I would not have leaks. The tank is almost empty, but not quite.

As for everyone being worried about the software side and modules, the CEM 2005+ is modular, it is equipped to handle all possible engine configurations with a configuration change.

Working with the high-pressure lines: if the tank valves were faulty you'd know by now!
