Hi Guys,
I have recently fitted a snorkel to my 92 Patrol, it runs great on Petrol but stalls alot when I run it on Gas. I did a quick search on google n found a page where the guy tried few things, then turned the head on the snorkel so it faces the rear to reduce the cold air forcing in and stalling the engine. I did this and it doesn't stall as often but still does it. Any ideas?
cheers

You need to fit a balance pipe between your airbox and the mixer

Personally I have never done it but if you search for Patrol balance pipe you find will find your answer. Also you probably should get your gas tuned after a fitting snorkel and balance pipe
Edit: Have a look at this thread among many others

Until then try spinning the head of the snorkel the other way.

Yeh did that but found was only ok for short trips around town, once I drive for any further she stalls when I slow down or come to a stop. I have an elbow pipe fitting at the back of my Mixer which has nothing attached, is this the point I run my pipe to from the airbox?
