    Dual fuel but no rear wheel carrier Either he's found another spot for the tank or he's no carrying a spare.

    D3 LPG in Oz

    Some friendly advice, DON'T do it! I have had a few cars with LPG and the only one that was any good was a Falcon sedan. My last car on LPG was a 100 Series 'Cruiser. I had nothing but trouble with the tuning and fuel economy was terrible. Power loss for off road and towing was unacceptable, and the price of LPG outside of the metro area is rediculous. A major reason that I traded it in on the D3 TDV6, the best vevicle conversion I have done.

    100 series were terrible on the juice on LPG. My 2 V8 discos are not...they achieve less per klm costs than a TD5 or TDV6. This issue has been thrashed out before. Depending on miles and servos the converter might need a clean every 1.5-2.5 years (at $300 max) to keep it running like new. Nothing is as smooth as a rover V8 on LPG...yeahhh baby!

    And as for power - I have one open loop with mixer and one closed loop with mixer (ie both mixer not LPG injection) and the power is very very good (only losing a little ground to petrol over about 4000 rpm) - and low down torque is better on LPG than petrol. They both tow the boat very well on LPG - 2 tonn dual axle (Seafarer Vagabond - they are not a small boat).

    Cheers
