Buying a 99 4.5L petrol, any good

Valve saver kit is a drip system that gets plumed into a vacuum line and drawn i to the motor while its running, it comes with instructions so its pretty easy! Just remember 4 drips per minute.

Thanks for the advice mate.
How do I go about lubing the valves? Something simple?

PM me your email and ill set you up with step by step, it's also posted around here somewhere!

Done mate. Thanks heaps appreciated.
Had a chat to a LPG installer and they will do it with a second hand tank for $2800. Should I steer clear of 2nd hand tanks and go for the brand spanker?

As long as its in date you should be fine mate. Is that a vapor system or injected?

Here's some more info on valve saver system: http://www.flashlube.com/eu/products...saver-kit.html

All LPG tanks have a 10 year period then it will need to be retested. (I paid $300 for tank testing depending where you go) Second hand tank will still work if tested ok and still within date. Check to make sure it doesn't run out soon. How much are you saving with second hand tank?
$2,800 sounds pretty good. Did they say it was a vapour system? Make sure parts are readily available should you need them one day down the track.

Injected. Vapour is $2200.
The only thing second hand is the tank everything else is new.

I was talking to a bloke the other day with a 4.5 and he swears by injected LPG, more power and more economy then petrol he rekons...

I would vouch for that, mines injected, and i get better economy and power out of gas. She needs some love but still goes good. I get about 20/100 on gas with a dodgy injector and a heavy foot, and thats half highway, half town.

Great buy buddy. Not sure if my LPG is vapour or injected but can definitely vouch that the tune is in favour of the lpg and it drives like any other car, just a bit heavier. Mine is a pig on petrol and just sucks it back with little to no power. Interested in finding a chip so I can tune for both fuel types. Ok on petrol on the highway but guzzles everywhere else compared to the lpg.

$2800 for injected is awesome. Even $2200 for vapour sounds cheap. I was going to change mine from vapour to injected and they quoted me $4000.
