Good one Brad, I can only advise you to fit the backfire valve ASAP. Then when it does backfire you can smuggly smile and say - "just paid for itself."

And thanks for the heads up on the insurance.

Am planning to soon but for now have left clamps loose on plenum hose
I am happy to pass on any savings that I know about for all and ins is a touchy subject.

Hi Brad,

Did you buy a kit or acquire the different parts as you went along?

Thanks

Garry

Garry I allready had the tanks but needed the new cradle and I bought all the other bits, convertor, saftey valves etc and fitted them when I could . It was not really a kit ,but the convertor and under the engine bay is standard gas stuff for all models its just the tank and or tanks and position you want them to be in that you choose to suit your personal wants.
Have fun
Brad

Hi Brad,

Good idea to fit the backfire trap ASAP, I did 2 AFM's on the '86 RR before putting one on. There is a place in Vic Park that repairs them but I don't remember their name but could find it if need be.

I solved the backfire damage problem by installing the Wolf 3D which did away with the AFM and it rarely ever backfires now.

Hello Richard I will soon but I do have a spare afm with me.
If it does stuff up I will try and fix myself as I have repaired the ecu for this model before for Britparts and discovery autos as I repair electronic equipment for a living

A simple twin pole switch selects tanks and the sender for the tank selected.

Hello Loanrangie...I actually thought of doing what u did it was my second choice but as I am A lazy bugger I went the way I described so I look rather than switch I will post pics of my dash layout [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img]

On my Ser3 I have a VDO lpg gauge to read the LPG tank only,saves trying to match gauges and switches.
You can avoid LPG backfires by starting on petrol then switching over,could save a hassle whilst on holidays.
Enjoy the Broome trip.

Hello Andrew As I have been on gas since 93 with my other rangie with carbie I always got in the habit of switching to petrol 1 km before I got home, therefore leaving petrol in the carbie overnite thus helping to stop the gaskets and the rest of the system from drying up/stuffing up. So I will also do this now for this one
Thanks for the thoughts on enjoying Broome......BLOODY HELL I WILL anywhere away from work is a blessing

LPG conversion is a must now it is only 1/3 of the cost of ULP so when i get back from my holiday i will have to convert the red beast
very interested to see some pic's


wanted LPG parts for a twin carby 3.5v8 cheep please :wink: :wink:

Do the heads on early V8s need hardened valve seats for them to run on LPG straight? (as in a dedicated LPG setup)

I think any pre-unleaded motor needs either hardened seats or an oil injection system. This squirts in a certain ammount of oil with the LPG to lubricate the seals.

Andrew

how many ks are you getting out of 80 litres of gas mine is doing about 180 ks to 60 litres a bit poor me thinks

I was thinking of putting in a WOLF 3D and LPG setup as well, are the WOLF3d's reliable ? are they expensive to get installed ? do you think it has improved fuel economy ?
