Hi guys, I have gained possession of a 70l lpg tank that was mounted onto the back of a fork truck. Question is can I use it on a road vehicle?

With only a small amount of knowledge regarding these engines i look forward to reading your comments.

Thank you. I had a diagram of positions around distributor but i cannot find it anywhere. Looking forward to starting this as its plumbed into radiator & alternator should charge too.

Another question.... What order on distributor are the plug leads arranged so i know where to find no1 etc?

Brilliant guys, will look tomorrow. many thanks for your replies.

Removed an early 3.5 v8 engine from a 1971 lwb safari landrover on sunday.

New points were fitted after it initially started b...

If removed & replaced with 1/2" nipple & it runs fine. Now with stepper moto...

Quick question for you guys, I have a head gasket going on landrover & have begun the stripdown, question is do i replace both whilst its stripped or just the problematic one? What i dont want to do is have the other fail because of disturbance of the surrounding fittings. Do any of you have any exp...

Thanks for your reply.

Do any of you guys know what thread & pitch the oxygen sensors on the disco v8 3.9 are?

Presume tank that fills properly has the float in it as when emptying it drops a light then before you know it they,re all out & it,ll run till power loss is experienced.

I run the tanks right out as it usually loses power on extra throttle once near empty. One tank seems full but the other seems to be virtually empty but filler will take no more!
