Thread: eco-shot LPG injection

I have done some calculations based on a 15% saving after fitting gas.

Pre gas using 80l tank @ $1.25/l diesel = $100

after gas and 15% saving cost $1.25/l (- 15% of 80 l) =$85.00
Plus gas 8l (10% mix) @ 0.55c/l = $4.40

Total $85+ $4.40 = $89.40
So a saving of $10 per 80l tank
If cost to you to have system fitter is around $2000 that equates to 200 tanks of diesel/gas before any saving is made...other than improved power.
It all depends now on how many tanks of fuel you use in a year.
The final decision is up to you.

It would be cheaper to chip the ecu, fit an uprated intercooler and a large bore exhaust.

Ah, but you have to take into account the extra fuel you can take on board.

If you added a second fuel tank or a larger fuel tank to the chip, intercooler, exhaust; I reckon the costs would become more even.

Plus you could transfer a lot of it to the next car even if it's not a Landy.

hey why install it on your car just buy a second vehicle with all the mods done cheaper as anything you spend on the car wasted dollars

any mod done to a car does not add to value but does that stop any of us???I know it doesn't stop me and most of us here spend more than we should I tend not to tell the other half but still give her a hard time about what she spends on shoes,clothes etc

Hi Moparrangie,

Would you mind telling me where you got the quote for LPG conversion for the V8 Disco 1 please?

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

An extra 30ltr's of lpg wont get you anywhere, you have to run both fuels together to get a bit extra power/ economy, at the cost of the conversion its a false economy. Might be ok if you are carrying large loads as in a truck or bus but wasted on a passenger vehicle. I dont see people rushing to have it done ?
