Hi , bought a shorty on dual fuel and noticed a container on the firewall with a vacum feed containing cylinder head lube, at $22 a liter and the rate of use is this a nesassary item?

Running gas it's necessary keeps some lube up to the top end which gas can dry. Better for your valve seats too.

G,Day, Pezzer. Some people swear by cylinder head lube when running lpg, but it is a personal choice. I have just helped strip down a V6 with a burnt valve, which had not had the lube bottle fitted. I used to use a product called Flash lube.
My advice is: not to follow my advice.

I watched it today and it seemed to be using too much so now I found a screw that when turned slowed the flow, if it lubes like 2 stroke oil it should not need so much through surely.
No shouldn't use alot. I did a quick google and it seems people have it set at a drip rate of 1 drop every 6 seconds.

I am at about 1 to 10 secs.
1 to 10 is fine. You can get flaslube for about $17 a litre.

It's Morey's and 1 drop every 8 secs is best. it's a lead replacement system for older engines and is used to help keep the valve seats in reasonable condition.
