Hi All
For information last week I had a Parnell " Prins" Sequentual Vapour Injection " kit installed on my 2004 V8 Landcruiser. I have now done 2000 kms and it appears great. No apparent loss of power.
The injectors may be slightly noisy , but can not hear them in the car. I was advised they will be quiten down when they bed in. I have a 100 ltr tank. I got 460 kms on highway and still had some gas left.
Early figures are 19 litres per 100 Kms sitting on 105 to 110 KMPH. At this stage I am very satisfied with its performance . I am yet to tow my 2.5 Tonne van on LPG.
Regards
Norm

Norm,
My 4.0 V6 Courier is having the same system fitted at the moment. I'll pick it up Monday.
Looking forward to seing how it goes. According to Eric (
Rock Crawler) and he is expert in such matters, it should return as good, if not slightly better economy and power than on ULP.
You've got to love having petrol power and better than diesel economy.
Jim.

As I said i could not notice any loss of power. At this early stage of monitoring the LPG consumption, I am using 2 maybe 2.5 litres more of LPG per 100 klms than petrol. Keep in mind
mine is a V8 and was using about 16.5 lts of petrol per 100 kms ( highway).
Also I had a flash lube kit installed ($100). It is good insurance.
