diesel /gas

Hi Al,

don't have any first hand experience of this but have been looking into it for a while and as far as I can gather, you should see about a 15% increase in range (seems to be about the average improvement in consumption) plus the extra that your 30 litre tank gives you.

It's a bit galling to be paying $4000 or more when it was $2500 before Johnny's $2000 hand out - is that around what you paid?

Are you saying you cant get more than 400K's using both diesel and gas together.

What are you towing and has it been dyno tuned.

Gday Al

I think I get your drift, you run out of gas at 400km but still have heaps of diesel left(?) This is normal, you probably have it set up to use about 6litrea of gas per 100km or so....

Mine was set up similar when I first got it, but had it wound down a bit and get about 500km before the gas runs out. I found when I filled (both) I would get about 25l of gas and 55 litres of diesel to about 500km, or you could just fill the gas every 500km and the diesel and gas about every 1000km.

Depending on how it is set up, you will use somewhere between 4 to 1 or 3 to 1 diesel to gas. If you want too even them out, you'd need another 30l gas tank (an on the gu, this would replace the sub tank and fit a 150l main diesel tank)

Hope this sheds a little light

That's strange.!!

A mate of mine has a 4.2TD GU with the 30 litre LPG tank and a standard sub tank and a 145 litre main tank. He runs out of gas about the same time he has to start looking for diesel from memory. His diesel usage has improved to approx 11.5 litres/100klm and the thing (which is otherwise bog stock standard) goes like a cut-cat!

i have been looking into doing this set up myself. I have spoken EXTENSIVELY to D-Gas, Eco-Shot, LPGAS1 and Diesel/gas. the ONE thing that they all have in common is............. they will tell you that this mod is NOT a better economy modification. it is an out and out power mod. any better economy you get is a bonus. so don't be looking at these setups as a substitute "long range tank" ITS NOT. most of them will tell you that its like putting nitrous oxide on a petrol car, a catalyst for combustion for more power!!!!

don't shoot the messenger! these are direct quotes from either the different company's web sites or from their own mouths!!

hope this helps
