LPG

Thanks Fred

Not towing, nothing different. You mentioned the dirty gas issue. Do you have a preference as to which auto gas you use??? Is there a type that you don't trust.

I have 68 usable litres.

Thanks for the advice on the plugs, air filter etc.

Mizanne, that's the same size tank I have. I don't have a specific outlet name, but my installer who services my Triton each year for the Roadworthy Cert. has told me to stick to the reputable outlets, and I take that as being the big 4, Shell, Caltex, Mobil, BP. He services vehicles with blocked gas systems from Dirty Gas on a regular basis, all filling at the "Very" cheap outlets. I have to say, when I was in Adelaide 3 years ago, I got a tankfull at an outlet who I had never heard of before, and the gas disapeared at an alarming rate, on my way up the Silver City Highway (from memory at about 250 ks) Has never happened again since.
I strongly suggest you get the system serviced mate. At least you will know if it was dodgy before you baught it. Cheers,
Fred.

John, from here (Cessnock in the Hunter Valley) to our bush block 20 K's north of Coonabarabran is 445k. Can do it easy (unless the westerlies are howling). Usually fill up at Coona with LPG before heading out to the block, with on average 65 ltrs of LPG. then living on petrol until the home trip. Dual cab 3.0 ltr MK triton, 2001. Actually the trip is more economical on the way home, as I still have about 50 ks in the tank when I get home. Maybe geographical explanation for run down to the coast, who knows? but have about 8 years experience of this. Costs me less than $100 to go there and back....on LPG, Thats just under 900 k's.
Mind you, once the caravan is on the back, 1600kgs, I loose about 80/100 k's per tank, depending on terrain.
I never travel over 100kph.
It's a great place, and maybe looking to have a get together there in the near future, as I shall be retired as from 6/3/09.

Fred.
