Thread: LPG conversion for 99 P38

Willem,
I opted for the Tartarini sequential gas injection system.

I have also purchased the cable and black box to interogate the system via a laptop.

The basic details of what I opted for are:

Tartarini injection,

100 litre acroos between the wheel arches as I:

never lay the seats down

Wanted Max capacity

Did not want to move or lose the spare wheel

Need to carry a long shaft 8hp outboard motor which fits neatly across just inside the tailgate

Cost $5,000 minus the rebate = $3,000 all up.

End result

Filler is beside fuel cap (Inside the fuel filler flap)

HP is as good or better than petrol,

400 k from 95 litres, and driven hard. Don't know how far with gentle driving

What I feel helps performance is twin 2 1/2" exhaust system (Glorious note even on gas)

Cheers

Jeff

Willem,
I forgot, ours is a 4.6 96 HSE

Cheers

Jeff

G'day Jeff,

Thanks for this info. Most useful! Where did you get yours done?

The feedback I am getting from a variety of sources is that the sequential gas injection system is the go. the downside is the couple of grand greater expense.

Willem

Hi Willem,

The sequential is more expensive but you won't be disappointed! Better fuel economy and power. Along with what others have said you also don't have to worry about changing over from petrol to lpg as this is taken care of by the computer. I put a Eurogas system in mine. There are numerous systems out there and after talking to quite a few installers including some of the ones mentioned in previous posts it is important to get a system that uses steel injectors. Many of the plastic injectors seem to fail and i have seen bags of plastic injectors sitting on the floors of installers. Second make sure you choose a installer who has done rangies before. The Eurogas system has a good reputation as i am sure some of the other injection systems.

Hope all goes well!
cheers

Willem,
My P38 was converted by Romsey Auto Care.

Thanks, Jeff! Now where the heck is Romsey?

Aahh - about halfway to Bendigo. Should be a good drive!

Were you happy with their work?

Willem

Willem,
I think they done a pretty good install.

I made a few re-routing of the the hoses to the converter and some wires, only because I need to get at the 60 amp fuse for our boat winch, and the cooling hoses for the converter were 1/4" too high and were going to rub a hole in the sound proofing under the bonnet.

Other than that they left the fuel gauge for me to mount (at my request) because I like to sit and look at "Options" before drilling holes anywhere on the dash.

I think I'm ahead, as it was costing $1100 per month for petrol, and this month only cost $300 for the same approx mileage

PS: Deakin automotive quoted about $5400 but were only talking doughnut where the spare wheel goes.

Cheers

Jeff
