diesel prices going thru the roof, interested in anyones experience in this conversion, checked out company website in
adelaide and certainly sounds ok, clocked up 70,000k's, would toyota still cover warranty?

Hi Brad979,
It was done at Binskins Port Maccquarie NSW. There are
well known diesel tuners in NSW. The only problem as
mine was the first Factory TD 79 that had been done in Australia, and maping the gas flow was a but 'hit and miss'. Cost of the gear was $3,500.00 plus fitting about another $1,000.00 ( Ouch ! )
Only 26 of litres of gas to fill the tank. I really need two tanks. The tank is fitted under the tray.
I would not expect Toyota to cover warranty but the vehicle is nearly 3 years old now, I refuse to worry.
I will take it back to Binskins to make some adjustments to the computer It is a bit lean on gas ( Not enough gas ) while touring but about right when heavy towing
Cheers
Dunedigger
