100 Series V8 LPG conversion

Bob,
Can't help you with the V8 but i would think it would be possible.
To be sure I would suggest a phone call to Scott at Metropolitan Autogas in Brisbane (07 3256 0333) and he would be able to give you the right info.

I have an 80 series 6 cylinder, dual fuel, with an Impco fitted and had over 100000kms of trouble free motoring until some clown hosed down engine. After that I had an engine backfire which blew out air flow meter, while i was running on gas.

Also had a further backfire on trip to Broome and the problem was traced to an arking in ignition leads.
Apparently the ignition leads for LPG running need to be a certain type and not the standard issue, which mine were at the time (though i got over 100000kms on them)

Scott at Metropolitan autogas, when he fixed things up for me, told me to make sure I had the right ignition leads, which are to be changed every 80000 kms and spark plugs to be changed every 20000kms.

When the backfire happened we were on trip to Broome from Gold Coast and I had to change over to petrol at Kununnara and towing a 17ft Jayco poptop got an average of 22l/100kms (9858kms) which is close to your 20/100.

Whilst running on gas prior to the problem got 30.5l/100kms (3212 kms) and the average cost per kilometer was
LPG 23cents
PETROL 30 cents

Re the "oiler" perhaps this is an "upper cylinder lube system" .
If you speak to Scott ask him about that too.

My sister's 2004 100 series was converted to gas about 3 months ago.
There are quite a few system for them older style and Injection systems.
My sister got older style impco system and it uses about 22l per 100 on gas
(was about 18l per 100 on petrol).

Few companies in victoria that supply them are www.vags.net.au
and www.parnell.com.au

Hi Bob

I Have a V8 100 series which is due to be converted to the Parnell Squential Vapour injection system next week. When I Spoke to the Toyota dealer he said there's no reason why there should be any problems,along a Flashlube Kit for the upper cyclinder head lubrication is fitted. Although the gas converted said there was no need for the Flashlube kit as the engine starts on petrol and also delivers petrol in small amount under load - I think for a small outlay I'll get the kit fitted, to be on the safe side. The spare is going on a bracket in the back on the drivers side - so I'll lose the use of the rear seat for that side which I can live with. I being told gas usage is 15% extra because the gas is injected which is more efficient, also a 3 Kw increase in power - I will do my own fuel consumption test as soon as I can.

Cheers

Anthony
