    Seems there may be a lot of extra mark up by some eastern states fitters. Most conversions I have seen or enquired about have been between $1500-$2000 depending on fuel injection / carby / lpg only and size and amount (1-2)tanks. $3-31/2k seems a bit steep. Prices probablly went up once the govt introduced a rebate. Have a look on the www.v8engines website in the UK they show most options available for Rovers. The best I have seen is the underfloor scuba tanks, that lay flat on the floor optimising capacity and using the minimum space. Advantage of these is they have a deck (false floor) laid over the top and maximise useable load space. If you are really serious about the conversion and have an injected car you could install a Wolf or Haltech programmable dual chip ECU. This allows as you switch between fuels to use the optimum fuel map for that fuel. Downside adds about $1000-$1300 depending on unit plus installation and dyno runs.

    Hi Brad,
    Quoted by Meadow Springs Autos, they did Rons' (Kev's brother in law) vehicle and Ron was happy with the job.

    Can catch up at Kevins most Fridays after work.

    I paid $1800 at Riverstone Gas here in Sinney but that was about 6 years ago. The conversion on my P38A was $3000 (paid by previous owner) and it's not as a good an install as the Riverstone Gas job.

    The govt. rebate to which you refer only applies in WA - unfortunately.

    An article in 4x4 about 5 years ago listed a typical Impco/PA fitment in a discovery as being at $2900 + additional petrol tanks if required. So the WA price would seem exceptional - almost worth driving all the way across to get it done.
