Hello, what does it take to get a dual fuel set up for a 253 V8? How much does it cost? Thanks.
Hello, what does it take to get a dual fuel set up for a 253 V8? How much does it cost? Thanks.
it varies i think most places still offer a government rebate, i got a conversion in 2008 i got a $2000 rebate the system was $2500 the rebate has dropped off heaps now if theres one at all,
its not hard to set up legally it needs to be stamped by a licensed gas fitter, you could get a second hand system dirt cheap, what state are you in? ive probably got a system somewhere possibly on a panelvan im going to wreck cant remember but am sure its duel fuel, it costs $250 to have a tank restamped
I'm in tassie mate. so to get a full system put in it will cost roughly $2500?
Best off asking a fitter what the cost is. It can vary a lot.
It may not be worth it in the end. It may be more cost effective to do a 304 EFI conversion which will probably get similar economy (in kM/$ of fuel terms)
Byron, I run several newer Holdens with both the 304 EFI motor, plus an injected LPG dual fuel system. It has got to best the combo out there. It is both bullet-proof & economical.Originally Posted by HK1837

Hi Doug, I don't use my Sandman as my daily driver so it tends to be used for a cruise. I suspect the cheapest part of owning the car therefore is the petrol. If your a bit the same it would take another 35 years to break even on the cost of fitting. I measure the fuel economy in "Smiles per gallon"
I wasn't talking about the new injected LPG system on an injected engine, I was referring to an old carby 253 with an old style gas system on it. Can you actually fit LPG injections systems onto an old carby fed motor nowadays?
Looks like I will have to do a bit more research haha
What series car and what body shape?
