just looking at a dual fuel 1990 vx,
would lpg work out cheaper than a diesel to run? im guessing running on petrol would be thirsty but any issues running lpg the majority of the time?
anything to watch out for?
any info appreciated
cheers

Tbh any to do with a 3f is a waste of money.
Either transplant a 1zf out of a 95+ model and duel fuel that or ls1.
The 3f is a lazy gutless mill that drinks fuel and way under purforms.

My 1zf does around $20-$23/100 k empty and $25-$28/100k loaded and towing my builders trailer.
At current moment deisels would be around $8-$10/100k cheaper for the same loads. Excludes road tax tho.
The 1zf performs very similar to my older 350sbc cruisers that ive owner in pulling power and exceleration. With better fuel economy to boot
