The run on gas didn't even make it out of the camp driveway. Stopped in Port Pirie and filled both petrol and LPG. Surprisingly large amount of LPG went in so we'll try it again on the road to Port Augusta. Cruising nicely - slowed to 80kph and feeling comfortable. Thanks for your hospitality Simon & Hillary. 👍
Made it to Wudinna. The "Dinna" part seemed like an omen so we checked into a room and now waiting for our ordered "Dinna"😜
101 going fine on petrol. Tried a few times to play with the gas setting while mobile but it's no go. Must be at the carb end. Got the idle fine but under any load it's hopeless. Love driving this little beast! Having fun.
Realized my posts probably belong in a new thread so when I get home I'll paste everything over and then delete these to keep this thread tidy.
Cheers to all.
At least its all going well! We spent the rest of the day in winery's and disused railway stations!!! Gav will prob b able to chop and shift this all into a 'JayBoRovers 101' thread!!

Recon so.. The ones I make will b slightly wider, and have a flat top to account for the tailgate.. JayBo's suits the rear door access. You're hitch bolted direct in the ctr of the rear x member as std.. Will match mine if it is. :)Quote:

At Nullabor Roadhouse for a coffee stop. All going well. Just managed 340kms on LPG and still going! (I won't say "going strong" but still going). Heading on to Eucla now.
Please keep the reports... Us 101 owners like to keep in the loop:D
Mrs hh:angel:
Made it through the border (can't believe they let us back in😃) and now in Eucla waiting for my dinner in the resteraunt. (We figured by skipping lunch we deserve a nice dinner!).
The border dude asked a bunch of food questions, asked about "what is this thing? Did the army use these?" and then noticed no rego plates. We told him it was on a Vic Roads permit so he noted the permit number down and then waved us on, wishing us a safe journey. No request for the WA Movement Permit I also have.
The 101 now seems relatively happy on gas but only after a sustained period of farting and missing. Sometimes it clears itself before you come to a stop and can accelerate back up to 80kph. Sometimes it doesn't and I have to switch back to petrol before we come to a stop. Happy we managed to run for just over 340 kms on LPG though.
Next update tomorrow - now eat then shower then sleep.
