Yes of course, it will be turning into gas, DOH
What motor is the diesel/gas set up on?
was thinking of doing it but just something else to go wrong

Apparently there was a rebate for such a conversion. It's finding someone that will do it now.
Heaps of power with the gas. While doing remote travel (no gas servos) the gas is just used for when power is needed.

Yeah thats what I thought, pay $3500 for little bit extra power, which you pay for anyway via the gas 68cents down in mexico
what are they paying in the territory

Wow, this thread has taken off. Thanks for all the comments. Much to think about.

I am grappling with the same issue as you with and additional problem of a caravan on the back. I am expecting a bit better economy than you though with the BA motor and SVI gas.
With the BF fairmont I am getting around 280k's per 50L of gas with the van on the back so given the extra weight and aero burden of the patrol I would be hoping for around 400k's per tank with the van in tow.

i have the same issue with my car do you worry about travelling 700ks with only 800ks max fuel you would hope nothing goes wrong and ur fuel consumption estimates are spot on
Just tried 5x jerries on the roof. Although it was ok on the highway, the extra weight up there took a little to get used to. I wouldn't consider any challenging tracks with it up there. Maybe stash and come back to it. Awesome peace of mind. Came home with three full ones. Oh well!

TBH I wouldn't even dream of driving anywhere with 100L of fuel on my roof, not just for the possible risk of leakage etc and covering the car but waaay to top heavy
