Thread: LPG in 300tdi?

Come on guys, we know some of you have done it.
Which system?
How much?
How good?

Try a search for LPG fumigation, or LPG injection, or dieselgas, while you're waiting for someone to pipe up.



Cheers

Hey mate. I want it but the company who I wanted to use never return calls or emails so I have given up because if they are like this when I want to give them 4500 bucks then they will be hopeless with after sales service.

The cost is $2500 out of pocket once you get the govt grant back but you need 4500 because you can only apply for grant once fully paid up. I'm sure different companies will vary by about $500 but $4500 is top dollar before getting cash back.

I spoek to someone at Bunnings down in Penwuff the other day who I saw had it on his disco 300tdi and he really liked it and said it's a new vehicle. Has had no issues but as far as saving money on fuel.. don't count on it.

Not sure if are the best threads on here but they should gie you somehting to go off.

A big concern for me is where to put the gas bottle, I suppose the best way to get that answered is to go to an installer.

I wish I could get technical but I can't because I have no idea how... But they install it just underneath the vehicle where the passenger and driver door meet. It's only a 30 litre tank in most cases so plenty of room and it does not hang down past the vehicle body.

I'll let you know in two months when mines done.From a dyno power goes from around 50kw at the wheels to around 80kw.It gives you another 150k's range if you drive it normally.All this is from people I have talked to that do have it fitted.I have never met anyone that did not regret fitting it.I'm getting mine fitted in town and there is about ten Tdi's here that have it.The bloke that does it said the Tdi seems to get the best performance gains of any TD that he has worked on.I'm getting the tank in the back as I have battery boxes either side of my truck.

I'm sure that's not what you mean.
