the theory is - or was - that by adding a small shot of Gas while running (as gas burns at 110%) it would help keep the engine internals clean from carbon build up
also, as it is a fuel that burns at 110%, it would aid in the power stroke of the diesel - more bang per buck so to speak
dont forget, DGas & Diesel Gas were all the rage because you couldn't get a chip for the 3L, unless you imported them from Italy(and even then, it was for a 3L Fiat not a Patrol)
the early TD42 (like mine) works with the Gas as there is NO Computers in my Car, so even if I could get a chip for it (now they ARE available for the later models) it wouldnt work, as I dont have a computer run motor
as an example
- if I run my TD42 to and from work for a week - works out at 13.9L/100 - $60.00 diesel
- if I run my TD42 to and from work with the gas on for a week - works out at 12.5L/100 - $38.00 diesel & $12.00 gas
so its cheaper to run with the gas on, and I get better economy, and for a TD42, thats great economy
Basically what I said more suited to the 4.2 rather than the
3lt which are pretty much on limit out of the box
04 ST 3lt auto, not enough Mods to keep me happy, but getting there
