LPG needs a high compression ratio to realise its full potential. Dual fuel vehicles don't really show off gas because you have to tune it for the lowest denominator. LPG is a much cleaner alternative to petrol and currently it's cheaper, but it seems the govt has already started to dig its claws in there too :\ Bastards. But yeah, rebuild an engine to run on pure LPG and it'll be cleaner and will potentially make more power too. I heard someone had made LPG injectors too, dunno whether it's true or not but effectively having to go back to a carby system (mixers) was always one of the shortfalls of an LPG system.

gas is still made from crude oil. burns in a similar way and gives off most of the same chemicals. your prob thinking of hydrogen gas not lpg. when the oil goes, so does lpg.

Yeah, but we have excess LPG and it is cleaner

IanB: Haha, ride a pushie to uni... I'll leave 9pm and get to uni in time for classes at 9am!

Hydrogen isn't viable yet.

I don't know anything about the performance side of LPG. Don't know much about fuel either in regards to performance :(

Mush: 50L.

The car does have horrible fuel consumption though - living in a hilly area doesn't help. I just can't afford a replacement :)

So you are in Montville, oh dear god, an upper-class HIPPIE!

I have no idea whay my posts have to do about this thread but all hippies should be shot, oh yeah and we all should read up on peak oil, it is very interesting subject:

There is no train station at USC. (Ok, so it'd take 3hrs to ride, not 6.)

When I go to QUT though I will be taking the train. Might even ride there some days! It's only a 30 minute ride to the station so it aint that far, but the roads arn't made for bikes so I'd probably get hit, lol.

Guess what everyone. The petrol was cheaper yesterday than it was today! Because thats what happens.

Low and f*&king behold the earth didnt stop spinning!

And I still got 10kms/L with my headlights on, wipers on, a/c on, and stereo right up driving in the rain.

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
