    I've had 4 cars that were Gas powered
    MK with 2.8L petrol gas
    AUII dedicated Gas
    GQ 4.2L carby petrol gas
    GU 4.2L Diesel Gas

    I do like it , but not the cost to get it fitted
    lucky, all my cars were already fitted before I brought them

    when I brought the MK - Gas was $0.21 per Liter
    used to cost $22.00 to fill the 80L tank, and used to do about 400Kms in it per week

    now, you see this here Valve -

    this controls the amount of Gas going into your Carby
    for some strange reason, that I could never work out, whenever the bonnet is open, people like to play with it
    twist it in, or out

    and then the car runs crappy

    when you get it tuned, good idea to put a nice little mark on it and the pipe
    so if anyone DOES play with it, at least you can get it back again
    Yeah, I bought one of those power valves to fit in. Then realized it's too small for the LPG hose I have.
    It's still sitting in the car. I can't use that power valve without any mods to it, and can't find a power valve to suit the
    the Impco 300A mixer hose diameter.
    Can you guys point me to the right direction where to find a one?

    Hey BigCol,
    How do you get "flash lube" or sewing machine oil to mix with LPG?

    its setup to "dribble" into the intake
    mine was on a fitting drilled and tapped into the manifold
    I think it was
    1 drop per 55 seconds
    or something like that, cannot remember off hand

    Yeah, but what is the mechanism you use for that timing?
    Where do you get it from?

    As well as an upper cylinder
    lubricant, I thought the
    flash lube also had a lead
    replacement that was first
    designed to coat the
    the valves in pre-unleaded
    engines. I suppose it
    isn't as crucial in an
    unleaded engine though
    as the valves are already
    hardened.
    My advice is: not to follow my advice.

    Hi Dom,

    I suspect the IMPCO 300a has a power valve built in see item 3

    http://www.teecoproducts.com/Catalog...A%20Series.pdf

    If you are using a ring mixer - then you need a power valve
