lpg tanks

That tank holds 65 liters of usable LPG

Really? I must be underestimating (or underguesstimating) the size of that space the tank is in. 65L of LPG is what - 80 odd liters water capacity? That's the same size as my Paj tank (underlslung) - that's a pretty big space!

Hi, im new to the 4wd game and look forward to doing lots of mods and mud holes. Im looking to put my Gen2 petrol on lpg, as i have done nearly all my previous. Just deciding on wether to shell out for the liquid efi -which needs the injector 'spuds' to be in the right place-, the vapour efi which is tried n true and cheaper, or go the budget mixer/closed loop controller and live with the mentioned hassles.

The liquid injection won't give you any real benefits over the SVI. Yes it's cool, yes it doesn't have a reducer, yes I would love it, but would I pay the extra? Not a chance in hell.

I have SVI on my BA Falcon 6 and its nice. I have mixer ring system on the Paj (stepper motor mixture control, petrol injector simulator) and its shit.

I don't have any problems with backfiring or anything, but the fuel economy and power is bad. That being said the last tank of LPG I did 18.9L/100km which is the best I have done in the Paj...Worst is 24L/100km

If you put a mixer ring system with a balance tube in the intake, you will potentially have problems with a snorkel. Because of the positive air pressure produced by the snorkel, you can knock the balance between sides of the converter diaphragm for six.

Carbuyer are you talking about gas/petrol? My gen2 holds 73 liters of gas I think. If you allow 20 liters per hundred worst case that gives 365kms till empty. I`m getting about 17.5 liters per hundred at the moment from my NH three liter manual.

Ooh - you have a BLOS mixer! What's it like? Are you happy with it? Do you thi you get better power than a standard mixer? Your mileage is better than mine, but not hugely so (going by my first tank of gas after getting my O2 sensor going again) considering I have an auto...

Yes mate very happy. Simple device. Cheap. More power. Better economy. If you check my posts I have photos and info on this site. cheers.

As I said ...

And my Paj is doing 26L/100km on the highway on petrol. Yes that's right. Since my dramas with the ECU and O2 sensor I'm chewing petrol. Gas same as normal - woeful, 20-24L/100km

Man I've got to convert to LPG injection...

Jeez - that's shit. How do you put up with figures like that?

Not bloody easily!

I retuned the LPG myself now I have a working O2 sensor (the LPG "ECU" controls the mixture via a stepper motor and feedback from the O2 sensor - very rudimentary system) and last tank I did 18.9l/100km on LPG mixed driving. I'm pretty pleased with that given its a heavy lumbering underpowered beast with an auto and an antiquated el cheapo LPG system.

I'm going to have to go through each sensor in turn and check its ranges to see if there is a problem. I'm thinking the coolant sensor is probably stuffed and the ECU thinks the engine is cold all the time, and running rich fuel trims to suit.

The LPG conversion was only done 14000km ago by previous owner (he paid $3600 for a MIXER system gawd!) and has reco heads with hardened valve seats put on at the same time. Funny - I replaced the spark plugs a few weeks ago and they looked like crap...

I hate my LPG system. When I get a bit of money together ill convert to SVI ($500 tops)

Where did you get that price from? I have been quoted around $2500 to change mine from the shit venturi system to the vapour injected system. If it was only $500 I will do it for sure.
