straight gass turbo gq.

Post by toddcuth »

Hi just wanting some feed back from you guys i have a 91 gq lwb and it is on duel fuel and i'm wanting to turbo her my problems are i still want to be able to carry enough fuel now staight gas seems to be the cheapest way to go but just not to sure how much fuel i could carry and what the economy would be like i have a small (36 litre) gas tank behind the back seat and i have a draw setup and fridge slide that i don't want to lose, the car has to petrol tanks i think it holds like 140 litre all up i mainly just want to know some gas tank combos you guys may be running and the sort of km's you are getting out of a straight gas turbo setup. thanks for helping.

Maybe look at a bigger gas tank behind your seats/chopping a bit outta the draws? Other thing to consider is that you can get petrol just about anywhere, but gas can be a bit harder.

oh i forgot to add, if your running straight gas you can safely fit 3 tanks in

2 110L (90 ish useable) under the car, and one in the back of the wagon :) the one in the back is up to you, im using apa ford wagon scuba style tanks tho, and im gonna make a false floor over them :) so all up i should have around 230 ish litres of useable gas (ford tanks are 65L so about 50 ish useable)

yes thats true, but they are larger in size, the beauty of the el - au tanks is there is 3 of them, and they fit below your wheel arches in the back of the wagon, so very neat to build a false floor over
