    Series Land Rover gas nozzle ??

    I found the item in the pictures below amongst some parts I've acquired.
    It was fitted in the pipe that goes between the oil bath filter and Carburettor elbow.

    Is this for running on gas ?

    I've never seen anything like it - but I can't think of any other use for it in that position. But not necessarily LPG - possibly Browns gas?

    Hello Colin,

    It looks very similar to a Lovato LPG system that piggybacks on top of the throat of a carburettor back in the very early 1990s. The standard air cleaner was mounted on the top of the Lavato fixture. I had one a six cylinder Holden 202. Back in the day Impco LPG systems were considered the best and Lovato were their poor cousin. That gas inlet piece was frequently a poor fit on the carburettor throat and the source of frustration regarding leaks, subsequent inaccurate tuning and inefficiency.

    Kind regards
    Lionel

    Certainly looks like an LPG venturi.
