air filter with LPG

Post by 4sum4 »

I can`t fit the original air box set up in the original spot,I`ll be running petrol and LPG and was wondering if it would make any differance if i just ran a universal type air filter straight out from the end of the ducting,most LPG conversions I`ve seen havn`t used the origanal air filter set up anyway.
The ducting would be about 300mm long

just use a pod, with abit of trace wire attaching it to something so when it backfires it wont blow it into the weeds.

I have drilled 3 50mm holes and fitted 3 red bath plugs with bath plug chains attached to them in my Air box for the same reason :D

Thats piss funny. Years back i had a Rangie 3.5 on gas with a commodore airbox and driving along one day without warning or reason it backfired and blew the box to many pieces, i near shat myself. It did it many times after that, i used nice long springs to hold the top of the airbox on so it could lift off under backfire without breaking the box.

My Rangie has a disco 3.9 in it on gas and it backfired real bad towing a trailer back from Bathurst to Bris last yerar. Blew the box into about 10 pieces. I replaced it and fitted the plugs. Its never done it since :D

To Answer your Question 4sum4 you should have no problem running any aftermarket filter. Just need to keep it as clean as possible LPG relies on realy clean filters.
