RD28T on gas, anyone have any info?

Hi, just wondering if anyone here has a 2.8 litre diesel Patrol with gas fitted. Rough price on supply and install if done, and any info on the pros and cons after having it installed? Thanx in advance.

There was a thread a while back and some bloke put it on his GQ 2.8. Can't remember his name.

I'll do a search and see if I can find it.

From memory he wasn't happy about it though.

Have a 2.8 TD Nissan Wagon 1995. Put a Diesel Gas Aust. system on it and have had nothing but trouble, wont stay in tune, wouldn,t deliver enough gas so DGA drilled out the (Bucket Valve?) after replacing the computer and numerous attempts to tune the system. Now I have too much gas going into the motor so I tuned it by tuning down the gas rooster on the bottle, allowing only a trickle of gas into the system. There is a marginal increase in power, economy but it still blows smoke and the oil is the same condition at oil changes. On economy it is only cheaper to run when gas is below 50% that of diesel. So far it will take me about 40 years to recoup the cost. DGA are very good at sticking their heads in the sand and blaming everyone and everything except their product. Would I put another unit on NO WAY.

Thanks for the speedy reply. Just had a read through that thread, seems most with 4.2's like the conversion, not the same for the 2.8 owner.. No convincing info here, think I'll go no further with it.

Have Powershot 2000 gas-kit on my highly modified GQ with RD28T engine. Have also a Snow water/meth-kit. I bought the gas-kit some years before the Snow-kit, Based on my experience, water/meth gives more power than the gas-kit, and at lower EGT.
