TD Jack is now LPG injected!!!!!

Gday all

Just thought I'd let you all know that my 99 TD Jackaroo is now on Gas. Took 1 day, $4014 (and hopefully getting $2000 rebate soon!).

I am a little disappointed on how low the tank hangs underneath. They said it wouldn't affect clearance. Crap. It's certainly not the lowest point (apart from the diff cases the transfer case bash plate is), but it's fairly long and large underneath, but for the purposes I use my vehicle for, mainly touring, beachwork and towing the CT, shouldnt' be a problem (very little rock work/deep mud etc).

As for performance, WOW. Feels a lot more thant 20% power. The performance claims are certainly true. Literally throws me back in my seat. The performance of the Jack was pretty good compared to other high-tech diesels prior, and more than adequate for the off road stuff I do, but now it is a cut above. Revs up to 4000 rpm effortlessly, picks up the pace at 1500rms (instead of 2000 plus), turbo lag while not real bad before, is even less noticable. I
'm certainly impressed.

Now waiting to see the economy figures. And I guess the harm the increased power/torque can do in the long term is still out there, but they claim cleaner fuel, lower exhaust temps, which won't cause harm.

Had it done at Dieselgas Austm Churchill Rd, KILBURN. No affilliation unless having work done there is affilliation!! if you know what I mean.

I got it mainly for performance an extra range - should be worth at least an extra 200 kms under normal driving - this gives me a touring range of over 1100 kms with the 133L diesel tank plus the 27L gas.

So I can't comment on the economy yet, but I can thoroughly recommend the LPG for Jack diesels for the performance side of things. It would be a killer on 3.0 TD Prados I reckon.
