Hr Holden Gas install

[Oggz]

Recently brought a HR ute. shouldn't have, but to good a price/condition to turn down. It needed some work to get going, mostly a gear box change as it had a bush rigged m20 install that was not road worth. It came with a motor that had a powerglide attached and bits off the premier that it came out of to fit it. The ute has Gas installed, looks pretty old, the inlet for the gas has been milled into the side of the stock carby. I believe the tank is now out of date and needs testing

Cheapest quote so far to get tank tested and gas cert is $480.

Question is, do i keep the gas or rip it out?

I have several arguments against and for keeping it but i dont know much about gas and thought i would throw it out there.

Cheers

How much driving are you planning on doing?
Lots and lots = Keep it
Not much = ditch it.

well, due to a change of policy at work I now have to drive my own car to work each day, so its going to become my daily, but I mostly brought it to be the work horse for doing up the house... you know, dirt for gardens, timber for projects, runs to the tip...

If you can't make that sort of decision ,gas or no gas,your gunna be screwed when you start on the house,lol,toss a coin,i'll take head !

Just for simplicity, especially if the ute is close to stock, I would rip the gas out and spend the money on getting it running nice.

I agree, take the tank out and disconnect the line from the carb. Leave the rest in place and you could get it up and running later if required
