Patrol 4.8 on LPG

Submitted: Saturday, Sep 01, 2007 at 21:48

I've been using the Old Man's Patrol a bit over the last few weeks and it is fair dinkhum superb.

Heaps of grunt and cheap as chips to run. The bonus is that it runs as smooth as silk on LPG, despite some suggestions in the past as to the validity of LPG.

I'm guessing it has a lot to do with the quality of the installation.

Anyway, being able to punt a 2.5 tonne behemoth around for less cost than of running a Datsun 120Y is a bonus.

Duuuuuuude!

You are still alive and kicking.

Hope all the family are as well.

Now! this LPG thingy that you are talking about.

(1) Is it a petrol/LPG arangement or is it a Diesel with LPG injection.

(2) If a petrol/LPG do you just run it on LPG or is there some magic electronic mixing gizmo.

(3) If On Diesel with LPG injection, what size LPG tank does it have and how much diesel can you get on board.

(4) If (3) applies how long does the LPG last in relation to the Fuel load of diesel.

Nice Rig Pic. You appear to have lost a bit of weight.

Are you like a jockey, had to come in under weight to be able to stand in the drawer. (LOL)

Doh!

Listen here you two, I avoid all things nissan like the plague and only deal with such 'plague items' when absolutely necessary.

In view of this I admit to total ignorance of most things associated with the word Nissan.

However, after having been set straight by you two most knowledgeable and credible all things Nissan experts I now have the answer to what I really wanted to know, which is secret Lucy business.

Thank you for elucidating on the virtues of a 4.8 Nissan and I will now file such knowledge in useless information bin 69.

I have big and better Pink Nissan Mafios's to fry such as Roachie.


4.8 nissan a petrol jobbie Duh! Like I didn't know that. (LOL)

No doubt about you numberone, the forums 'sharpest' visitor, a mind like a steel trap (pity its full of holes).

That rig pic has been there for at least 6 weeks, and yes! it depicts how money slips through my fingers on my 4WD's.

However I am of the same philosophy as the Late Laura Ashley, who always said the following:

Money is like manure- its made to spread around.

I spread the Chit on a regular basis whether I want to or not.

Haven't seen you here for awhile, so how are things going.
