Difference between GQ petrol chassis and Diesel chassis
Difference between GQ petrol chassis and Diesel chassis
It is probably on the forum somewhere but is there any difference between a GQ/ Mav petrol chassis and a diesel chassis. If so what is the difference.
Cheers.

Re: Difference between GQ petrol chassis and Diesel chassis
Don't think so. If anything there may be some extra tabs for different fuel tanks (i don't even know if they use the same tank), and possibly some little brackets for EFI fuel filters or similar. I can't see there being any huge differences though as all engines/gearbox's and differetials are interchangeable.

Same fuel tanks. All the aust delivered had 95lt.coxy321 wrote:Don't think so.

Re: Difference between GQ petrol chassis and Diesel chassis
Thanks for that guys. The reason i ask is that I bought a mates turbo diesel GQ for a soung after the insuraance company wrote it off with a slightly bent chassis. Its a diesel and I have the choice of 2 petrol chassis for next to nothing. So engine mounts and gearbox mounts are the same?

Re: Difference between GQ petrol chassis and Diesel chassis
Are you asking if all GQ chassis are the same or if the 4.2 petrol and 4.2 diesel chassis are identical? I think RB30 and the 2.8 diesel have different engine mounts.

Re: Difference between GQ petrol chassis and Diesel chassis
So my car should have 95L or 75L, or was that just in the Mavs? I'm sure mine's only 75L as it never really costs me over $100 to fill it.turps wrote:Same fuel tanks.

Re: Difference between GQ petrol chassis and Diesel chassis
nope, early GQs have different engine mounts, up untill 92 i think has two bolt engine mounts and after that was four bolt engine mounts, the trouble with this is the mounting bracket onto the block is also different between the two.. i found this out the hard way. its all just bolt on stuff but you still have to source it and buy it
Re: Difference between GQ petrol chassis and Diesel chassis
Yeah i think its around July 1991 they changed engine mounts.tommy182 wrote:nope, early GQs have different engine mounts, up untill 92 i think has two bolt engine mounts and after that was four bolt engine mounts, the trouble with this is the mounting bracket onto the block is also different between the two.. i found this out the hard way. its all just bolt on stuff but you still have to source it and buy it

Re: Difference between GQ petrol chassis and Diesel chassis
I thought 75lt was an import thing. Out of all the people I know with GQ's I have never seen a 75lt main tank that was standard.coxy321 wrote:So my car should have 95L or 75L, or was that just in the Mavs?

And if any body wants to measure a bare chassi, I have one sitting at home. Well its close to bare.

Re: Difference between GQ petrol chassis and Diesel chassis
I filled mine up from empty the other day (the needle was just past empty ), and it cost about $94 @ $1.289/L, so it took about 73L. That is with no foaming, and a good shake to clear the air pocket i usually get when filling right up (adds about 3-4L). No idea whats going on there.turps wrote:I thought 75lt was an import thing.

Re: Difference between GQ petrol chassis and Diesel chassis
Maybe, but i doubt very much that there's another 20L in there.
Re: Difference between GQ petrol chassis and Diesel chassis
as far as i know 4.2's are all the same chassis.

Re: Difference between GQ petrol chassis and Diesel chassis
If i get a spare weekend and can work out the logistics of running it empty, i'll give it a try.
Re: Difference between GQ petrol chassis and Diesel chassis
We have a winner.

Let me borrow it. I have a knack for running GQs out of fuel. Should never have modded the sender arm when I fitted a long range tank.

Has anybody got a photo of the 2 bolt and 4 bolt engine mount on the chasis side.
