Not sure about the mileage, I think those that have the lpg setup get around 300 km out of a 80lt tank.

I would sit down and do some Maths work to see if its really worth the effort, especially now that LPG has gone uP to around 89cpl. I've been down this road before and cannot see the benefit let alone the value in it no matter from which angle you look at it. Just remember this, 89cpl is not your final price of what you pay to run your vehicle, as long as it takes for you to pay the LPG system off of around $5000 minus the $ 1250 rebate along and with the additional servicing you'll be paying around a realistic figure of about $1.35 a litre. Just a little food for thought before you shell out your hard earned on a vehicle that you originally paid $8500 for. But look, have a chat to those that have it and see what they say about it. I find my 4.6 uses less than the 4.5 litre 6 cyl petrol Landcruiser motor which is more advanced engine than the old Rover v8.

Hi redandy3575 thanks for your help the Rangie that i'm looking at is already on lpg but i have just found out that it doesn't have 150.000km as it was imported from the UK it is in miles per hour so its got 142000 mile on the clock lpg was fitted in approx 08/09 and is supposed to have full service history and he wants $8000 for it body is straight and interior is excellent.

Ok, sounds like a winner seeing that your not paying up front for the conversion. 142000 mile x 1.6 km = 227200 Km. Not bad for the price,being a 99 model the vehicle averaged around 20654 km per year which is a good figure and hasn't done too many short trips which is good in the sense the motor has had regular use. I'd say have a crack at it, and do all your usual checks and if suspicious on anything no matter how small or silly it may sound, feel free to jump on here and ask the question, we're only too happy to help out . Good luck and send us photos, would like to have a look.

That's the exact same amount of kms that mine has travelled!
