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

I run a 80 series air filter box on my gq with lpg. It all works good.

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

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
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.
