I have a WB ute with a blue 202, hei with gas curve, 5 speed man gearbox, 3.55 to 1 diff, as far as i know its carring a 80 ltr gas tank, running a single landi renzo gas converter, feeding a verijet 2 brl carbie, one of my work mate helpped me try and tune it but i am lucky to get 300 to 320 kms out of the tank, not sure if this is right? i had the timing out abit and i was squeezing 400 kms from the tank, but the engine would not rev past 3 grand.
lpg tuning is a bit of a dark subject and getting info from people can be like getting blood from a stone, but can any one help me? i do a lot of driving and the more kms i can get out of the tank the better at the moment i get 3 to 3.5 day from the tank, any info that helps i will be greatful

Hi Wombat77, I had a WB 308 on gas, and when I first got it the consumption was about the same as yours, 300km out of an 80L tank. I put a new vacuum advance unit on the distributor, as the diaphragm in the old one was buggered. Also I advanced the timing

thanks for the tip, mine is currently set @ 6 degrees, she starts like a dream, turn the key and fires on the first turn, she cruise down the freeway @ 2400 rpm at around 110 km/h, think i'll push the timing back a bit and see how she goes
thanks heaps,

Your convertor has most likely got an idle screw in the housing and a tap like valve mounted in the gas pipe between the convertor and the mixer on the engine. If that is the case then adjusting the idle screw is carried out in much the same wa
