ute buying

The other thing, is it worth asking the more savvy Ford wreckers in SA how hard it would be to “petrolise” an LPG ute? Maybe it’s becoming an option now due to overall scarcity.

Could you maybe get a forum member to take a quick look for you for cosmetics and basic mechanical condition and if it checks out then maybe pay someone like RAA or the equivalent to give you a thorough report.

Athol Park Ford wreckers would be the go to in that case.
Certainly worth asking the question.

thanks but bad idea, 2 reasons
1, down to 2 LPG suppliers in town and Wollies stop when their licence comes up for renewal.
2. Ive had white vehicles for 30 odd years. In my senior years I want something that ticks my enjoyment boxes not practical use. therefore the kinetic blue is what I hunker for.

You’re not reading him right. That’s a list of the basics to make an LPG ute run on straight petrol. Then you can drive fearlessly (roos notwithstanding).

Tonz - as Mr. Bender mentioned .... it was a reply to Mr. Benders previous comment re changing a LPG only ute to petrol only ute.

i'm not concerned what colour your next ute is - that is your personal preferance.
