I am interested in a 94 3.5L v6 pajero exceed. Does anyone know any problems with these major that is. I would also expect it to be pretty poor on fuel so I would cosider a LPG conversion. Does anyone know what the tank options are.
Thanks I will appreciate any information.

G'day Rusty,
I used to have a Paj with with gas (1999 3.5 lt). Sold it after having the motor rebuilt after only 40,000km. May not have have been the fault of the motor, but of the installer. I fitted a
snorkel after which the same installer recalibrated the gas to run with gas (extra intake pressure), I had it regularly maintained and serviced by one of the biggest gas
places in
Melbourne but alas it bleep itself. From that day on I'm of the opinion that unless a motor is designed and "built" by the factory (not some seemingly hick that the dealership gets a good deal from) to run on an alternative fuel then I'm not stuffing with it. I now own a diesel car and couldn't be happier. You can get diesel anywhere, try that with gas. thre are also other advantages. On the Paj we had about 60 lt useable gas and 60 of petrol. F-all range once the gas has gone. Patrols of the type above are quite engines for gas conversion as far as I know, sure they don't get real good consumption but show me a Patrol that does (petrol that is) We used to get about 15lt/100km (petrol) or 17lt/100km (gas) on the open road. Cant remeber around town.

forgot to add - have a long hard think about doing a gas conversion on a car that old.

I would
check with Mitsubishi. As I understand it no motor pre 1997, will handle a gas conversion. Head and valve problems. In any case why stuff up a perfectly good donk, with gas. Moreover, you achieve no greater fuel capaciy as they have to remove the fuel tank and replace it with a smaller one. Other option is to do what they do with land Rovers is to place it on the rear floor and hence you lose space.
Good luck, good motoring.
