I had a tb42 Maverick, dual fuel, sucked the stuff like it was going out of fashion, up to 40 l/100km in the bush, so went for a diesel this time. Not sure of your qn? do you mean dual fuel or diesel or totally gas?
I had 110 l of gas on board and 65 l of petrol and was always worried about running out of fuel. did the exact same trip in the diesel and had heaps better economy.
never had the problem with the head that T-man speaks of but i only drove it from 30000km to 120000km.
Mate had it happen to him, got a new head with a breather at the back guaranteed not to do it again, did it again 35000km later. Apparently there is an airlock of sorts at the rear of the head, anyways that was 100,000km ago for me mate and he hasnt had any more trouble.
Impco dual fuel always the best I found, changed to Impco after having barbeque gas (sort of a ring around the carbie that the gas was shot thru) and got another 200km from the 110 l tank of gas. Chewed points too like they were byproducts of sheep! the Patrols are electronic ignitied I think, Mavs are all points and on gas they just eat em.
much happier on diesel, goes further, no fuel worries, great economy etc etc etcSo many
places to go!
So much work to do :0(
