Wouldn't believe there would be any problems, as it would use the same kit that was on the 3.5ltr Pajero's I believe. I would try to get the fitter to fit a donut
tank, to increase ground clearance

Ithink that the only problems are the same with all vehicles - where / how to mount the
tank and filler etc.

Can't be done legally. I've checked it out.
Any vehicle produced after 1/1/04 must have an emission approved kit. A kit has not yet been tested to meet whatever ADR it is.

You can probably still buy a diesel Terracan for the same price as the petrol model. Expect under 10l/100km (assuming that fuel cost is a key consideration for you).

Yes, and the diesel hauls harder(especially if towing ) . Why go to the expense of lpg , get a diesel and whack a bull bar on, or upgrade the
suspension, for the money you would have outlayed on lpg?

That's a mighty fine
forum. In fact I spend every night in the same bed as the bloke who set it up. I also look at him every morning in the mirror when I shave LOL.
There's nothing there that will help with a legal LPG conversion, unfortunately.

Sorry Jo, I wasn't having a shot, just commenting on LPG.
Of course your point that it will help with overall vehicle choice is correct.
Cheers,
Jim.
