    Anyone recommend a decent gas automechanic caboolture / morayfield area?

    Got some issues with my Gas setup. Backfiring.
    Had it in to a mob at Albion twice, $500 gone, tuned, new plugs and leads, and numerous bits of my intake system replaced (blown to bits from the backfiring) and still backfiring. Now it feels as though its starving as well (surging at 50kph).

    I reckon its a matter of chasing down the issue, not that the mob are incompetent (well maybe not), but I live up at Morayfield and its a pain getting the car dropped off and picking it up to have it worked on. So does anyone know a decent gas mob in the Morayfield / Caboolture area?

    You could try T & D Mechanical 28 Aerodrome rd Caboolture, ph 5498 3999.
    I had the gas tank on my Rodeo re certified by them. They appear to know what they are
    doing. Pricing ?????

    Hilton motors, kipparing ask for (dereck). Gas wise

    Can get pricey if not set up properly. All gas set ups have to go back for a retune with in a certain amount of time from first fitment as the pressures change and it needs to altered. Problem is if it does backfire and has a M.A.F (mass air flow meter) it usually blows them to bits and they are pricey.

    Just an update, went to T&D Mechanical, they did a great job, took extra care making sure the problem was fixed in one go. Rang me up and made suggestion of additional electrical insulation work for a belt and braces approach, which I agreed to.
    Car running like a train again, and I can go back to paying a reasonable price for fuel, nearly killed me paying for petrol for the few weeks I was trying to get the gas sorted!
