EF the viale converter s**t its self (common) so it was replaced with a mga converter. Gotta love the manual gas adjustment. Runs as lean or rich as I want it to.

i used the bottom of a falcon weber on the escort, then made an adapter that fits to an impco 200. had heaps of problems with it starting cold. found out it had a leaking inlet manifold gasket. fixed that, and it goes like a train now !

Two thumbs up for the LPG forum!!!!!

Got the AU1 Fairmont converted to dual fuel (Sprintgas) around 2 months ago, was stalling a bit on me at the start but took it back for a tune and it's been great ever since... gotta love $25 a tank!

And the best bit - I actually made $100 profit off the install icon_lol.gif

Only problem is I had to rip out my sub and amp to make room for the tank. I'm pretty full on with work until just before Christmas but hopefully I'll have the time (and the money) to start my new install around Christmas or shortly after.

EF fairy
GRA gas steup with s400 T.B.
I got 500kms on the FM drag day#2, that was gassing up at BroadMedows followed by some "spirited driving" to heathcote, doing something like 20 passes down the 1/4mile & driving back to gippsland, spirited again...
That was using about 60L of gas
Not bad in my opinion
