Hilux 253 and QLD rego issues
Posted: Fri Jul 20, 2012 7:51 pm
Hey all,
I have recently bought a 1994 4wd single cab lux. It was originally a 22r but the previous owner has had a 253 put in and a gas setup as well as petrol. The conversion was mod plated but the rego left as a four cylinder.
I bought it without rwc and fixed up a few small things with the help of a mate (i drank and he did the work, what are mates for!) Anyway the gas system was installed in someones backyard whilst heavily on the piss I presume. The brackets and mounting were dodgy as shit, and the gas lines were zip tied in. I tried to get it complianced but no one would touch it obviously. So I pulled the gas out of it and went back to straight petrol.
Now my question is will it be able to be regod in QLD without gas? Some things I have read said no, some said it will have to be straight gas only and some have said dual fuel is ok.
Now I know that the engine has to comply with the vehicles year ADR's, but seeing as though the 22r is a carby would the 253 be the same spec? Can anybody shed some light on my situation, will I have to re install the gas properly to get it through?
thanks in advance for any replies
