Tb42 duel fuel carby issues

[Bigcol]

Ok, cool I thought it has to be an approved system by the alternative fuel board(at least in Victoria).
I was told combining different brands, or different units aren't that easy due to the regulations.
But, I'm not too sure about that though, could be just heresay from somewhere I reckon.

has to be approved supplier and an approved installer here in Perth as well
under the Road Traffic Act

ok, so what happens if your Tacometric Relay dies - you wont find another the same as what you have, as it has probably been superseded
do you go for something similar (maybe 5 wires instead of 4 or vise a versa ) or pull out the whole system because its Not the same as what was fitted??????

a bit like not being allowed to replace your drag link with a Tough Dog one, because your one is bent..........

I think someone is pulling your chain


as long as it is an Approved installer (who SHOULD know what they are doing) - there is no reason for it not to be legal

must be approved by the Transport Dept. I think they do it

yeppers

its called Dual Fuel - as there is 3 different fuel types going into the same engine

never heard it called bifuel - thats gay.......

Well........the guy who introduced me to that word and who called himself a trainer of LPG installers, was from Perth, WA. So, don't blame me, he's one your neighbours.
He claimed he's working at the alternative fuel board in WA, so if you come across the fella, say hello to him for me & tell him I don't discriminate.
BTW, bi community will be offended by you calling them gay.

I reckon electric stuff like LPG safety switch & gauges, etc can be replaced by similar ones without having to go to a qualified installer. Of course, if the replacement is not compatible, then you have a problem and probably have to go to an installer to have it properly wired. I had to replace my safety switch. The original one was some crap brand and I replaced it with a PEEL safety switch, which is still going without any dramas.
What I was been told by a fella(perhaps from NSW or Queensland), that there are approved converters and a mixers or hybrid of those for each car by the alternative fuel board. Even though it can perfectly fit, just importing a brand and model that's not in the alternative fuel board's approved list won't be allowed to install on cars. Dunno about the truth of it, but that's what i was told.

Hey....hang on a sec.....you kicked my ass repeatedly in the other thread for messing with my LPG gear, now you've become liberal and calling me chicken.

BTW, if you are right, I would go back to my original idea of importing a LPG liquid sequential injection system(comes with it's own ECU) from China and either install/upgrade myself or get a fitter to do that. I was going to get a kit anyway, but couldn't find a kit that's guaranteed to work with a 6 cylinder carby engine. Plenty for 4 cylinder engines though.

as long as it is Approved by who ever does it
and
as long as it is fitted by an Approved installer

Was Cary Grant ever happy?

Gas only needs a hole so stalling on gas is a mystery atm to me.
It could be dual fuelling but only if wired incorrectly,
Isolate one fuel say gas as that is your main fuel and get it tuned for that.
Gas needs the electrics to be spot on as Big Col states leads in good condition.
spark plug of the correct heat range, timing needs to be just off pinging on fuel
because gas likes it advanced.eh keep us updated

considering the speed limit on the roads is 110
a GQ weights in at aprox. 2.5T (well mine did)


have you NEVER watched the V8 Supercars on TV Dom....... especially when they run at Wannaroo Raceway - (Barbagallo Raceway)

considering I was running on Gas - I think 155Km per hour is quite a good score card............

Mate 155 was about all we got from the mighty HQ (not GQ). Mind you after 3 laps we couldn't stop it anyway.

thats why I never went over the 155 mark

was watching that corner coming awfully fast towards me
and my faith in my brakes was leaving in the opposite direction at the same pace

was good fun though

worst part - and an expensive lesson to learn - more power does not mean more towing grunt

but you get that
