    3l patrol.

    Apparently there was a rebate for such a conversion. It's finding someone that will do it now.

    Heaps of power with the gas. While doing remote travel (no gas servos) the gas is just used for when power is needed.

    Wow, this thread has taken off. Thanks for all the comments. Much to think about.

    Regarding lpg: I drove a dual fuel 4WD around Australia already once; had no issues with filling the tank.

    I am grappling with the same issue as you with and additional problem of a caravan on the back. I am expecting a bit better economy than you though with the BA motor and SVI gas.
    With the BF fairmont I am getting around 280k's per 50L of gas with the van on the back so given the extra weight and aero burden of the patrol I would be hoping for around 400k's per tank with the van in tow.

    Just tried 5x jerries on the roof. Although it was ok on the highway, the extra weight up there took a little to get used to. I wouldn't consider any challenging tracks with it up there. Maybe stash and come back to it. Awesome peace of mind. Came home with three full ones. Oh well!

    TBH I wouldn't even dream of driving anywhere with 100L of fuel on my roof, not just for the possible risk of leakage etc and covering the car but waaay to top heavy
