Diesel LPG Conversions
smo:
Firstly the TD5 wont run on biodiesel of more than 5% and certainly wont run on SVO/WVO (so LR say and i aint trying it as i dont know of anyone who has)
As i do 18K a year, and plan on keepig the vehicle for many years the conversion cost of £1500 is recouped in the first year, and then i make anice saving every year after that.
LOFTY:
My 130 DC i use for towing, has a powershot system i bought from the States, its fully adjustable, and you notice the differance. Towing up hills where i would normally drop to say 3rd gear, will cruise in forth, it makes it smoother to drive, well if a Land cruiser engine could get any smoother.
But the LC engine has a mechanical pump, so after intercooling and pump tweeking, theres n o easy way of getting more power, so i fitted the Powershot system, only took a few hours, and fully switchable from the cab.

dont put Vo or bio fuel in a td5 as the pumps die very quickly
