Hey guys,

Just wondering where I can find the balance tube or whatever its called to allow a snorkel to be fitted to an LPG vehicle with the head facing forward.

Cheers

Ive never heard anyone mention a "balance tube" for a snorkel before. I've seen questions asked about differences for lpg snorkels but answers have always been "no change required". Why would you?

I can't imagine what modifications would need to be made to any snorkel, for any fuel, regardless of inlet direction. Anyone else?

Sorry Brett, I still don't get it.

The pipe balances what? What problem/s did snorkel fitment cause that balancing is needed? Would you elaborate please.

I thought a balance pipe for LPG is really only needed for a turbo setup. I think the balance pipe you are referring to is also called a boost reference for the converter. Usually in a naturally aspirated lpg system the cover of the converter just has a small mesh screen on it. If you run a turbo the balance line should be just after the turbo to the converter.

I just heard from a few blokes that without this pipe or tube too much air is forced in causing problems with the LPG.
