All I can say about mine is that I am stoked with the way the car performs now.
Heading uphill on a firm dirt surface it will wheelspin in first and second in high range, neccesitating the use of either CDL or less Blunny.
Towing a trailer, hills that used to knock me back to 4th I now cruise up in top sitting on the dollar.
As one of my friend said, "It pulls harder than a 14 year old".
I would do it tomorrow if I could get it done at that price, who did it for you?Quote:

What level of assistance is available?
The Australian Government has introduced grants to assist with the cost of purchase of a
new manufacturer fitted LPG vehicle or for the fitting of an automotive LPG system to a new
or existing petrol or diesel vehicle.
Who knows how these work?
Is the old manual system very similar or more or less the same as system for a carby petrol (say out of a range rover) ??
From what I can tell the system is very much the same as a petrol version. Tank, lines, converter. just it uses a computer to inject with an injector... I assume it uses the tacho wire to determine how much it allows in ??
My dad just got it on his pootrol, said it is the best thing he did, pulls a 3.5T caravan uphill at 100kph now.
I've had it done now - it's the 'old' system without the ECU and it cost $2600 (before the rebate) from Action 4WD in Warragul. It may not be as good as the system with the ECU but it's made a HUGE difference and it's about $1200 cheaper.
I'm not sure that the system with the ECU could be $1200 better....
The engine is just much more driveable, hasn't turned it into a tyre shredder or anything just smoothed out all the peaks. The turbo seems to come on sooner as well and I can now accelerate up a moderate hill in 5th gear or at least maintain my speed. You seem to notice the biggest improvement when the engine is under load.
I'm up at Falls Creek (the drive up the hill was much more pleasureable!) at the moment but I'll take some pics when I get home.

So where else dependable can you get it done in Sydney?
There is KLR and then who else? KLR are charging A LOT. How much are others charging?
Greenlight were doing it but have just told me that they aren't anymore because they have so much straight lpg work to do.

Bruce Davis Performance Landys are now doing it, too, I believe.

Sweet, its available for Td5s ..
3850 - 2000 from the gov, 1850 is not a bad price .. for the 20% engine performance, add a intercooler and it would be even better..
This sounds like a great idear. What are the practicalities of operation?
How much gas do you need to carry, I assume you fill up each time you fill your tank. The sill tanks seem a good way to go. Would they protrude much from a D1?
What happens if you run out of gas or can't get any?
I would appreciate if any one could answer any of these questions.
Michael.
