I have some 2.5tdi turbo revelations I'll share shortly. The results will surprise people.

I hope it's a good supprise unlike the BBQ bottle with hose down the airbox to prove diesel gas doesn't work one. Pat

You might want to take your blinkers off and re-read all that Pat.
It wasn't to prove it didn't work, because as a power-adder it does work. It was to prove all the nasty side effects. Which it did. Perfectly.
If you can detonate lpg in a cold idling diesel, then it's sure detonating under load.

I thought you'd be in 100% agreement with that. Afterall, if landrover didn't do it factory it must be rubbish? Right Pat?

Well I still haven't had any of the nasty side effects you claim after 4 years running it on my Tdi,and Isuzu are running it on factory prepared FTR cab overs here. Pat

Of course not. Everyone here knows your landrovers are super-awesome and never have any problems.

Completely wrong there Pat.
Isuzu are running dedicated CNG engines with spark plugs: http://www.isuzu.com.au/media/48181/...ng_ark0693.pdf

This has nothing in common with whatever system you've paid through the nose for.

Check out the compression ratio. 11.3:1. That's a safe compression ratio for a turbocharged engine running CNG.
CNG of course has far higher knock resistance than LPG also.

Converted vehicles are certified with a plate on the inner door,the one I looked over had the Isuzu gas compliance plate,I don't remember seeing spark plugs,Oz post had the CNG vehicles you are talking about. Pat
