Hi,
I see on your website that you do a tune for the 500 - 5.0V8 292hp engine which gives an extra 20hp (ish).
I am looking to buy either an ML500 or 350 which will run on LPG.
Given the very different burn characteristics of LPG (Higher Octane (around 112) but lower calorific value) - do you do (or rather could you do) a remap to allow for the different fuel type (allowing for the fact it starts on petrol of course) to minimise the standard 10-15% drop in economy and performance??
Of course the other thing to know is what that sort of remap would cost, as I'm guessing it wouldn't come cheap!
Thanks
