You only need a hole for gas if the old system. on late EFI the sequential seems the go,
make sure all plugs leads and filters are new ,then get your gas checked, how big is your tank?
Thinking around 400 k out of 90 ltrs of gas is about right.
My last 4x4 was dual fuel, figures never really changed towing, off road etc
minor tune issue IMO
Sorry, just re read it.. if your getting that good and its not down on power or backfiring, well done.. don't touch it... ;)
But do remember, a gas tank is round. So the first 1/3 and 3/3 will fall around the same but the middle 3rd will last longer due to the extra width in the tank.

I hadn't thought about the lack of linearity in the gauge... Makes sense now you mention it.
Just had a retune and the mix/emissions are right where they should be. Ill test it this weekend on a trip south, i got 330km out of the tank before the engine started to misfire - 87L to refill which works out at 25ish per 100 mostly offroad...
Not too bad for a mixer...
That's pretty good.

I put injected gas on my wife's Rodeo and it has been an unmitigated disaster.
Its doing about 25L/100k whereas old red with a carby top ring is doing 17-18 litres on the 100
The Injected stuff is Stephenelli and cost me 4.5k and it is crap.
Well after a shocking 12 months with my teenage daughter I was able to find some time between dealing with issues and work.
+ Upgraded the standard 30L sub tank to a Brown Davis 70Ltr sub tank.
Being able to carry 70L of petrol + the 120L LPG tank is a better mix. The LPG is due for inspection next year so I'm contemplating ripping the system out and putting in a long range tank at the back. LPG just isn't worth it IMHO.
+ Added a Brown Davis under body protector to protect the rather large tb48 radiator.
I've always been concerned with the 'visibility' of the radiator for sticks/rocks/etc. Problem solved :)
Now shopping for new rims and tyres...
Cheers
Finally back camping after a bad year with illness, it's good to be out.
I'm happy to report 24l/100 towing on lpg so the new MAF sensor has made a big difference as 30l/100 was my previous experience.
I'm also in an area where LPG isn't available, so loving the long range tank right now.
Next mod...
Some cooper at Max 285/75x16's and steel rims to replace the old 275/70x16's that came with the car.
Nice mate. Good to hear you making improvements on efficiency.
So I'm guessing gas got tested as apposed to torn out??
Still pending on that decision. The log tank has to be removed for inspection next year so the inspect/remove cost comes into consideration.
