Thread: Diesel/gas

Try hunter gas technology DieselGas Sequent II

Let us know if you proceed

Ive had 3 LR mechanics say that it can blow the head gasket but I havnt heard yet of anyone who has had it happen to so I dont know if it is how it is set up or the older systems or what but all 3 are very well respected in the industry.

I would love to do it but Im wanting to wait until a few more people do it first.

Did you see the article in one of the popular 4x4 mags? Sorry I forget which one I think it was 4x4 monthly/action. they did a 2,000 km trip through the outback and wrote up a piece on the diesel gas system. Thought you might be interested.It might be this months mag I think.

What about the tank where will it go and how big are they, the other gas systems I've seen in landrovers take up the entire boot

Rumbles at Dungog have a defender on D/G and they have had no problems as yet.It goes like a dog with it's bum on fire and the cylinder head temp is lower with it running than straight diesel so it would be better for the engine.In WA there is a fleet of mine trucks,about 20 all up that have been running on gas for years and they have run longer between service's and use cheaper fuel.They are changing the whole fleet over and the saving's they have had are huge.It is not new,untested technology.

G'day Adam,

Diesel Gas technology is not the same as LPG in Petrol vehicles in that with the Diesel solution it injects the LPG at the same time as the Diesel, whereas with the Petrol vehicles it is either Petrol or LPG.

As such the tank doesn't need to be anywhere near the size. I was quoted approximately 1/3rd the size of your main tank and usually (with Defenders anyway) there's plenty of room under the sill for such a tank.
