Diesel to Gas

I don't think you completely change a diesel to run on lpg but you inject lpg to help with the burning of the diesel.
Have a look at this website for info

Gas gives you cheap refills per litre but you need more of them and you can't hold enough for extra long distances, Diesel gives you range per tank but at a higher cost. Diesel prices at the moment need explanation by the government...You can add gas to diesel but not replace diesel.

Up to 24ft ....I'd be looking at a Ford F250, and before you say ...to expensive on fuel do some research on them.

Hi Rob

They are not all diesel - we have both late model petrol Pathfinder and Patrol in our family.

The Pathy is cute but Patrol is more capable though and both can go on gas
but Patrol does it better.

The compression ratio of most diesels causes pre-ignition so while conversion is possible it tends to be difficult expensive and not usually done , this is why a mixture of diesel & gas is main way this is done.

i went round oz with my 06 nissan patrol in 07 towing a 3 ton van the gas improved economy 4.0/lt to 5.5/lt the only place i could not get gas was between broome and port headland.i would recomend it i had mine fitted in brisbane by diesel/gas.
hope this helps

Hi Rob (Grubby),

I have diesel over gas on my turbo 1HD FT Landcruiser.
The gas ratio is only about 15% of the fuel mix when talking diesel. It is not either or but a combined fuel load.
The gas can be switched off at anytime and does not interfere with the normal settings on the diesel pump or injectors.
It is a separate system altogether but works in conjunction with the diesel.

If gas is unavailable then you run on diesel. No problems. I often run on diesel only especially when I am not towing.

Gas really only works on turbo-ed diesels as the small benefit gained on normally aspirated diesel vehicles does not warrant the cost.

However, if your vehicle is turbo-ed then the difference is startling. It is as good as a chip or a 3" exhaust.

My turbo used to suffer from serious turbo lag and when I had the injectors and pump done the difference was quite noticeable. When I had the gas done up it was heaps better again. Plenty of pickup and she performs better than a petrol cruiser on pickup and she pulls like a diesel should. Best of both worlds. Just can't get used to the smell or the roughness of a diesel engine when compared to a petrol six.

I still miss my 1FZ FE 80.

Cheers, Bruce.

Thanks for your replies everyone - sorry it took me a while to get back to it all - I have been away in my little 'wizbanger' as Bruce would call it LOL.
I have a lot more to think about it seems. So many decisions - eekkkk.

Cheers
