    This system will cost around $2300 after rebate. Sounds expensive? Consider a saving of 2L/100K. Fuel cost of nearly $1.50/L That is $3.00/100K, $30/1000k, $300/10000K. Almost pays for the service. Pays for itself in under 100,000K. If better economy is obtained and I have heard of older TDI vehicles getting around 6.5L/100K then the time to recoup cost is dramatically reduced. Furthermore, the landrover gets a good power boost coupled to a cooler running, low pollutant and a quieter motor ( no diesel knock) I was concerned about putting this system on a motor with 220,000K on the clock but was assured that making the motor run smoother with no diesel knock is actually great if bearings etc are a little worn. It takes the stress off them. Jim

    Worth a try for 2nd rebate. After all it is a different vehicle and as far as I am aware it is for having gas fitter! Jim

    Have never heard of this gas mod for a diesel.
    Sounds pretty good to me.
    Can someone post a link or something where I can find more info please?

    Cheers
