LPG injection on 4.5lt 100 cruiser

Get ready for it $5370.00 It was a bit more than average because I had dual tanks. With the $2000 rebate, as long as it is not a company car (bugger didnt know about that until I tryed to claim it) it should pay for itself after 18,000kms not to mention resale price over a "no-one wanting thirsty petrol." I cant put any photos on (a bit dumb on the computer) but the job is very neat. The injectors are easily accessable and the petrol starting is all automatic.

forgot to add , after your first 1500 kms , would love to hear your litres per hundred city and hwy.

Make sure it's after the forst 1500 kms as the diafram is still expanding in the convertor

I have only done two sets of tanks so far and have not gone on the highway so I will get back to you with more accurate figures later.

Okay, just realised the 18,000klm estimate of recoupment time related to the cost "only" being $3,370- (ie: after the $2,000- that other vehicle owners may qualify for). Even then, I'd still like to see the figures/calculations......

G`day Roachie, I am from Adelaide too so you know the prices of fuel that I know;
In the cruiser I tow a trailer in town every day fuel consuption is 23lts\100kms or a litre every 4.3 kms. So far after 2 tanks of gas (90lts) I am getting around the 380km mark for it so it is fairly close so far but that may change so I have just found out.
Petrol is about $1.25 gas is about $0.50 so that is a saving of $0.75 per litre or every 4.3kms.
To make up $3370.00 I need to use 4493lts which gets me 19320kms.
Sorry Roachie I worked it out previously on my mobile phone while sitting idle at the lights this morning, working it out step by step I am a bit wrong but still not bad as I do 20,000 a year;)

I would like to know who dynoed you TD as it is only 114kw at the flywheel. Thats not much lost thru the drivetrain. Maybe it has something to do with the full time 4wd against your rear wheel drive. Even my 200kw XR8 only gets 144 rear wheel kw with high flow exhaust and cold air induction ;)

Cheers Chard.

G'day Chard,

Thanks for the maths lesson mate.....no worries......

The Patrol was tuned by Hi Tech Diesel service in Churchill Road (about 3 years ago). They don't have their own dyno (or didn't at that time anyway), but they get all the rigs they tune up, dyno'd at a place nearby (sorry but I don't know the name of the place that does it for them).

Good luck mate and i hope the gas system continues to impress you.

Cheers

Roachie

G`day Mate, I dont know what brand of tanks they are but they are a bit bigger in diameter so they hang a bit lower. I had to put a lift kit in otherwise it would be too close to the ground. For the extra few litres it ended up costing more for the conversion and a grand for the lift, wouldnt bother!!
Adelaide Performance Engineering did the conversion and it was middle of the road for price, Prinz kit was another $500 and some other was a bit cheaper but the memory would reset every time the battery was disconnected, not good.
