I went for a spin in a 300Tdi Defender today that had been fitted with the LPG (not CNG) system.

This thing went harder than my V8. The difference with the LPG on was really noticeable. It pulled like a train from idle - just as if the turbo was working from down there.

It was up to 120km/h in much less time than when the LPG was off.

G'day Ron,

Do you know who did the kit for the one you drove?

Maybe something to plan for the future? - rather than bigger intercooler / higher boost settings OR do the LPG / boost her / bigger intercooler!!!

THX in advance

I don't think you do this mod for economy. It is the totally different driving experience.

I was at KLR this afternoon when the apprentice came back from having the car blue slipped. He said "The inspector wanted to know what had been done to it as it was quicker than any Land Rover he'd ever driven."

I'd say it is on par with a chipped Td5.

The gear was supplied by http://www.globalfuelsolutions.com/

KLR Automotive now have the NSW distribution rights.

Late edit: The system is controlled by a computer.

Price??

Dont spose you got a price, just to save me ringing? Matt

Price? Not, I'm not sure as I don't have a diesel, I didn't really take much notice.

But, I think it was more than comparable to a turbo and intercooler upgrade.

Ron

$3k is cheaper than a Quoted boost and intercooler upgrade.

I suppose it would be ok...

I might look into the cost to do it myself and get it signed off by a licenced plumber............... :roll:

Sparky???????....... :roll:

dunno, sounds like too much hard work....

Excuse me its not that late but i'm tired......
