Landcruisr V8 on LPG

Norm - is that in place of the main tank?

I'd be keen to do mine too, but would prefer the scuba approach where they strap them along the chassis rails (as they can in the 4.5l 100 Series) - but I understand that's not available in the V8...

Hi Norm,
I have my 2005 V8 fitted with SVI gas.
Very very happy. I also have a snorkel (Safari).
When the snorkel was fitted (after gas installation) I noticed that engine smoothness was even better.
A word of advice..if you have a Toyota tow bar that was fitted at time of initial purchase you may need to replace it with one that was manufactured after late 2004. The reason being the gas tank mounts won't fit properly with the earlier version EOM tow bar. I only found this out by chance as when I had mine converted and friend of mine also had his 2003 done at the same time at the same place. Mine being the later model had no problem with the gas tank installation and the EOM tow bar but when it came to his the tank just wouldn't fit with his EOM tow bar. Eventually he had to take it off and install one (EOM) manufactured from 2005.
If you want any further info feel free to let me know.
Regards

I am not sure about the system you are getting. Mine is a few years old with a regulator and when I had the snorkel fitted I was advised a balance tube would need to be fitted as well. I tried it without the balance tube and the engine would stall when coasting. Fitted the balance tube myself and no problems due to the snorkel since.

The balance tube fits onto a fitting that was already on the regulator and connect to the outside filter part of the air box. I just used a piece of heater hose and a plastic fitting which fitted snugly into the hole I drilled into the air box.

Like I said I am not sure about the system you are getting fitted and whether or not it needs or has provision for a balance tube.

I have a 2004 100 series V8 and the local Toyota dealer who I know quite well advised me that the V8's are not suitable to go on gas
