Hey

As a Fj40 owner i have found that when i put it on gas i got about 450km to 80L of gas. and on fuel i got 250km ona standard 55L tank. that is with the origanal 2F motor and origanal 4 speed gear box and 31" tyers.

If you are going to get gas i would recomend put in the biggest tank you can get it will end up beeing cheaper in the long run.

used to get 750-800kays out of 140l in my old fj40 31's stock

current fj45 i get stuff all 440kays to 120l on 35's and stock gearing

diesel paj is going to be heaps more efficient, reliable and economical, i hate to say it, cause i love 40s, but they are thirsty and unreliable beasts (because of their age mainly, and the misuse, some are still great, but they are getting rarer)

i have ever owned a 40/45/42 that has been unreliable. they are remarkebly efficient on LPG. They are stupid on petrol, but on gas, its a different engine. Its like they were designed for it!


i highly doubt that a diesel pajero is going to be anywhere near as economical as a 2f on LPG, in fact, no way is it going to be anywhere near it
lpg 65 cents a litre
diesel 1.70!

its chalk and cheese.

just do it

yea my pajero is going to be more reliable but diesel is $1.89 where i live compared to gas 0.70c. and i love the old 40's.. long story but i only have $4,000 to play with and thats just not quiet enough to get me a gq or something simlar on gas.

used to get 350 out of 80 L of gas... or 100k's out of 55 litres of petrol (only tried it twice)

mind you it had low compression on cyl 6, the points, coil, and leads were at least 5 years old, and it was running a dodgy hong kong converter and mixer ring, so there is room for gains.
