Toyota LandCruiser: LPG conversion

Asked by Callan

I'm looking at putting my 1998 Toyota Landcruiser on gas. Is it worth it? Will it ruin the engine? What fuel consumption will it return?

The 1998 Landcruiser is a popular candidate for the installation of LPG and people who have installed LPG typically save about 50 percent on their running costs. In typical use, and with the government rebate, you could expect to recover your investment within 12 months. The engines operate well on LPG and without premature degradation, however as a precaution it is recommended that you have valve clearances checked every 50,000 km rather than manufacturer's recommendation of every 80,000 km. The worst-case fuel consumption, dependent on whether it's an auto/manual, would be approximately 25 L/100km.
