Re: LPG refills???
depends on where you are, where you buy from. btw you want a bigger tank, trust me. i ran a 10 gal forklift tank on a turbo 2.3 ranger and was always running out, almost on a weekly basis.
last year i paid $30 to fill it at most places (i.e. farm supply place, welding supply place,) you dont want to have to go to an RV place, they gouge the ---- out of lpg there. i had no choice one time and paid $65 for a fill at a campground. |
Re: LPG refills???
i think i have a 5 gallon tank for the grill. cost about 12-15 to fill up at a gas station that sells LP.

sweet, cant wait for my lpg ---- to come in
BTW Keelay any more info on your setup??? |
Re: LPG refills???
its pretty simple, and i O0 rigged most of it on the cheap. i used some copper tubing i had laying around, some fittings, a forklift tank that i ....uhh acquired.., i got a mixer and heater off ebay. the mixer was fit for a square bore carb, and i got and adapter that adapted the square bore to the lower intake of the 2.3 (very very similar, holes were mm's off). i ran it hot air, with exhaust pipe for the charge pipe into a homemade airbox made from a big folgers can, a butchered 4bbl air cleaner and a few tubes of jb weld.
there is a vacuum/boost reference port on the mixer, just make sure you reference it or it wont run for ----. and we were running 20ish psi on lpg on a 2.3 turbo with a n/a head, turbo cam, and pulled no timing. never pinged or had an argument until it spit the stock replacement h/g. |

Re: LPG refills???
lol, i wish i could get near the truck. me and my at the time best friend built it together, and all that ----. we had a real bad falling out about a year ago. while he was gone to afghanistan on a contract job, a bunch of ---- got stolen from his shop, and one of his other friends told him that i did it. so...i had given him the ranger in return for ------- up his car, so i really cant just go take pics w/o gettin shot at. but i'll email him and see if i can get him to take a few pics and maybe join the site.

Re: LPG refills???
damn keelay we need pics :y
you would probably win the ghetto build with that one ;D |
Re: LPG refills???
i doubt it would beat the black hornet thing. the ranger did run low 13's with horrible traction probs tho.
|
Re: LPG refills???
You run a blowthrough or drawthrough setup.
I thought that mixers weren't able to take boost (at least the ones I found, impco'es didn't go above 5 psi) |
Re: LPG refills???
it handled blow through like a champ. im not sure on the type of mixer, but the hardest thing about it was running some vac hose to reference the mixer.
im TRYING to find some pics of it somewhere, bear with me |
Re: LPG refills???

Still waiting Come on, bring it down, I want a rolling BBQ. >:D |
