Back when i had my MQ Nissan Patrol with a 350Chev V8 in it. IT had both gas and petrol and i used to run the Morey's upper cylinder lub with it. THey have a little bottle and dispencer for it. About 6-8 drops a one every 8 secs did it for me. Never had any problems with it. I ran that on LPG and ULP. Never ran super in it. I figured that while on LPG the lub would do the same as on LPG.
As i say i never had any problems and the chev was certainly not built with LPG in mind, and certainly not ULP. THe chev was a 66 block.
