V8, snicker, "ECONOMY" hahahahahahaha
thermidorthelobster:
That didn't cheer me up that much. It's still 25p per mile, compared to 19p per mile in the Disco and about 9p per mile in Abby's Rover 200.
However, the other concern is range. I'm after as long a range as possible on Unleaded for my Africa trip. At the moment I can carry 100l in the tank plus 120l in jerries - that makes less than a 400 mile range. I was hoping to get at least 600 miles between fills. Bear in mind the economy could as much as halve on sand - that brings the range down to 200 miles. Fitting another 100l tank would help (range if not weight) but if I can squeeze some more economy out somewhere that would be better!

You have gas, what about an adaptor for bottle gas to plumb it into the high pressure system from the gas tank
Its not legal in the uk, but over there as long as you can buy bottle gas?
littlepow:
That still beats alot of Yank tanks that are coming over here!

I have heard of people decanting (via a kit/adaptors/valving) from their home 'Calor-Gaz' tanks.
Highly illegal, & apparantly very cheap

What you need is a none road going LPG burning engined machine. That way you can get a LPG bulk tank at home, then you don't have to pay any duty on the gas. One farmer I heard of bought an LPG powered fork lift just to justify a liquid take off point for the farm bulk tank that fed the grain driers. Strange that he then changed both Discoveries and the farm defender from TDI to V8.
