How does the mechanical pump work with dual fuel? Does it work well offroad? My car is also on dual fuel, but the mechanical pump is blocked off and a electric fitted, which i'm not really happy with.

So, I recieved the new fuel pump today and it's wrong, grr. Was only $35 though. I cross refferenced the part number on the EPC and everything.... The pump pictured is the one I need. Thanks for the tips!
The rims are 15 x 8 and ET23 offset. They fit really well, although I may need some small flares later on to keep it 'legal'.
Hulsty, it seems to work OK on petrol with the mechanical pump. One thing I don't like is there is just a valve in between the carby and the pump that turns off fuel when running on gas. Possibly causing strain on the pump when it's switched off? The car is definatly tuned to run on gas, the timing is a little out when I run it on petrol, causing all sorts or wonderful backfiring!!
So another setback, but it'll get there.
Cheers Brad.

Ahh so thats how they do it. Having the valve between the pump and carby means the pump is always pumping fuel, simply just returning it to tank via the pressure relief. No good if it runs dry on fuel, could wear out the pump faster too.

Thats why the gas people say you should always have 1/4 of a tank of petrol as min in your ride if its on lpg ,most new gas conversions have a little sticker for you dash as a reminder

OK, time for an update. Went for a play the other weekend. Met some mates in Timboon and went from there. It was a nice day weather wise, but it has been wet and the tracks were quite chopped up. The car went well, until the alternator shat itself, but luckily it happened a few houses from where I was staying! Pics to follow.
Cheers Brad.

No updates at the moment, car is going great. Been very busy and having put a deposit on some land has slowed the mud time down...
Cheers Brad
