I found that Landcruisers needed some fuel taken out to make the set-up run at its best. But the main difference is that if you left the rack alone, and you ran out of LPG, you don't loose any power from how your vehicle was initially set up before the conversion. If you run out of LPG in the middle of no-where you don't want an under-powered vehicle to get back in. And using solenoids to rack back the diesel is very expensive to set up.
The Patrol diesels get more than enough power (if done correctly) without touching the rack.

Fuel economy soley depends on the driver, the way I used to describe it was like getting a boat up on a plane, you can back off the throttle slightly and maintain your speed. Then the difference between the fuel you used to use and the fuel you use now plus the amount of lpg you use makes the equation for savings.
Because many people don't drive their vehicles differently after the conversion, they use the same amount of fuel and just get more power. I never marketed the conversion as a fuel saver but rather a power upgrade.

lol because no matter what manufacturers produce, people will always want more power. These days, I spend most of my time modifying and tuning brand new Falcons and Commodores these thing already have 260 - 300rwhp, I take that to 350 - 380rwhp on a basic upgrade and into the 470rwhp mark with some engine mods (eg- cam upgrade). People just want to go faster.
One diesel/lpg conversion I did, the customer wanted the absolute maximum amount of lpg that could be used. This thing used to detonate on gear changes, but the customer was happy with that. It was a 2.5lt turbo diesel Courier, the customer used to enter it in burnout comps and dyno comps with 31" tyres on it. Just crazy.

Hey Guys,
I just bought a GQ patrol TD42 (N/A) with a d-gas system installed, to be honest i can't even notice any more power when the switch is flicked.
What's the best way to determine if a gas system is working properly?
Is there any servicing that need's to be done to the gas system?
Looking up the d-gas installer it seems there no longer in business any more.
Any ideas?
