    ok i'm over this - i'm getting on average 250km out of my 90lt LPG and have just monitored my petrol at 100km to 30lt- I know I can get more out of it from reading here.. its costing me a fortune!

    Can someone please help me out and recommend where i can go to have this investigated and fixed?

    Billy on your gas converter there is a brass hex screw with a spring on it,
    Back it off two flats of the hex and try again, mark where it was so you can put it back if need be.
    I take it the back of your pipe is black as a pirates beard LOL
    If your free over the weekend pop over.
    Could see my mate down in Slater pde East Keilor

    This is the screw you're talking about yeah? No spring on it though.. I marked it where it is at the moment - how much do i turn it anti clockwise? it can only be turn half clockwise.. i assuming from what you said 'two flats' means half or 30mins on a clock face!?!

    My exhaust is not black at all..

    Working the weekend!

    PS - The beard has gone.....

    Highway Cruising I use 18 Litres per 100 K's which equates to 580 odd K's
    Towing my small Caravan I use 24 Litres per 100 K's which equates to 437 odd K's
    I have a 35 Litre ULP Tank which at 15 Litres per 100 K's equates to 230 odd K's

    So Highway Cruising I have a range of 800 K's using both ULP & LPG

    4.5 Litre EFI Motor

    I drive at 100/110 KPH and my Patrol is Stock Standard with a Alloy Bull Bar. No Lift

    say thats at 3 oclock now turn it back to 0ne oclock
    if your exhaust is not black and sooty I cant offer much normally it would run a dark to light grey colour
    You also have a big one on the main gas line.
    What I cant understand is how Bob gets Normal economy and not one other petrol owner here even comes close

    A 120 tank will fit a patrol giving you 100 fill Bobs may be installed on a slight angle giving an extra 5 litres

    My other 4x4 I got 400ks from an 80 litre tank then I changed to a bigger one after the engine swap

    should start another thread just for dual fuel Patrols stating tank size and range
    and what type of gas system is fitted,

    @ Billy your electrics need to be spot on with a clean air filter for optimum performance on gas
    if you back that screw off and find it backs fire under full throttle that will tell you its lean so move the screw back where it was
    or an air leak somewhere

    it will lean out the mix but I think the main gas line in needs to have
    that tap closed a tad and leave that screw where it was, but we'll see
