    I'm in Adelaide.

    The only gas conversion place that would give me a quote said they would charge $5000. I quickly forgot about it at that stage.
    Other companies I rang just gave me a flat NO!

    (For interest I get about 19L per 100km out of my Disco 1 V8, towing a 1 tonne trailer at 100 to 110 km/h. This is slightly LESS than I used in a 5L NC Fairlane at 20L/100 km over the same route with the same trailer).


    Thanks

    Did you get a satisfactory reason why the refused?

    I'm guessing it is because of the type of fuel injection on your engine. I don't have personal experience, but have heard of them backfiring, which tends to destroy the airflow meter.

    If you only want to run on LPG, not retain duel fuel, then it won't be a problem.

    D1 on LPG

    Thanks for reply,

    Of the LPG conversion places I rang, two claimed "too many problems trying to get the LPG system to work properly with the the existing engine computer" and the third (Parnell Gas) told me "we do not have a kit for the Discovery".

    I suspect too, that they all have so much work now with the $2000 subsidy, that they can pick and choose their customers.
