Hi GEK064. Just got my Marrelli kit last week and the good news is NO duty was payable. Just appeared on my door step one day :).
Thanks and good luck with your installation!
Hello mate im in Narellan ad keen on the Marelli unit also. Do you know any gas fitters locally that are capable ( and do a good job) id like to get moving on the conversion sooner rather than later as ive just got my V8i after writing off the tdi.
also does anyone on here have any experience with "under slung tanks there is heaps of room under a disco between the sill and the rails.
There isn't "heaps of room" , there's just enough room for a 20 litre (usable) tank on each side. They hang 50mm under the chassis at that. Commonly one of these tanks is used for diesel enhancement but they can be used on dual fuel V8's, no probs. 40L of gas will get a disco between 160 and 220km before running out.Quote:

Definitely better off using 2x gas tanks in the petrol tank spot. Hunt around for a s/h set. They have been around for 20 years or more. There should be some in wreckers.Quote:

Hey Landrovermick, the best guys I've found in our part of the world is landy spares in Silverdale. George, Brian and Mat run the place and are brilliant. They know their LR and are nice people. They have just done my motor and will be doing the gas on my 99D2. Let me know how you get on. Cheers
In addition my D2 has has a twin LPG tanks installed with a 45lt petrol - incase you wanted to see what it looks like.
That would be good i spoke to mate of mine today, who has a donut we can fit under there. waiting for him to get back to me - cos he can install it too. will keep advised. im still keen to check yours out.will pm ya my numberQuote:

And they are generally only 44-56 litres LPG capacity. Small donuts (that fit) are 30 odd litres. You are far better off with the twin tanks, you get 68-70 litres of gas.Quote:
