getting LPG on a '86 Rangie.

[thesheephunter]

My raggie has issues (don't they all ), I think the airflow meter is making it burn too much fuel. I also I want to put gas after the airflow meter is fixed.
My Qs:

1. I've been told the Disco's airflow meter is much better unit? What model would work in a '86 Rangie?

2. What type LPG works best in an old Rangie?
I drive a taxi and I know vapour often backfires out via the air filter on the falcons, what's injection like?

3. Where is a good place in Brisbane to get LPG fitted? Someone told it be over $4000 as it's a V8, sound right?

Thanks

I don't know about your MAF question but for LPG the injection is going to be better as it is newer technology but the install is probably double what your Rangie is worth.

I paid $3500 for Carb and Gas in Woolloongabba to install the old type sytem into my 94 update Disco. A few here have used them as they are good but also one of the few places that will touch a Land Rover.
My system included a new manifold tank on the floor in the rear. That was about $1k on its own so depending on the tank you get will vary the price.

Don't forget the $2k govt rebate.

Also why wait to get your MAF fixed before you install LPG? I'd be putting my name on the waiting list today. I don't know what the wait is these days though.
Once you have LPG you will rarely run petrol anyway.

Your '86 would have the flapper air flow meter, which doesnt like LPG backfires. I understand the the sequential systems are less prone to causing backfires but best check with someone in the know.
