LPG Discussion Forum

I filled up at Andy's Gas in Bristol on Monday as both of the supermarkets at Cribbs Causeway are out. The tanker was filling up there as I arrived. The issue lies with scheduled maintenance at the flogas depots in Southampton and Cardiff. The fact that both overran and the weather turned cold (who ...

I have never been happy with my vaporizer, a shame really as I have always used Tomasettos and always found them reliable. This one hasn't been brilliant. I'm reaching 60,000 miles since conversion and was contemplating whether to spend £25 on a service kit or replace it completely. The issue has ...

OK, problem solved. Sorry it has taken a while to post back but the best laid plans oft go awry, and my day off disappeared.

I did get chance yesterday to act out the plan, so everything got a good soak in leak detector, the current Lady Mondeoman cranked her up and then when it switched over the ...

Thanks for all your suggestions. I have a day off tomorrow, so will have a serious look then. My thought was to coat everything with the standard leak spray, I have an almost full can, get the good lady wife to start it up and see if I can spot anything obvious. If not I'll start working through ...

I'm getting a gas smell on cold startup, I'm hoping someone might have come across this before, as I am struggling to find out where it is coming from. It's most apparent in the cabin, and only lasts for a few seconds, and only on the first cold start of the day. It doesn't recur if I restart thhe ...

Firstly, many apologies for not updating this sooner. I have been a tad off colour recently, had a bit of a funny turn. Doing anything non essential has been off the radar!

The car got it's full service and the missing mpg has returned. Each tankful since has produced 180m plus. The strange noise ...

I wouldn't touch OMVL with a bargepole, but that is just one opinion based on one bad experience.

I do above average short journeys, and town driving, so MPG isn't good. It's always been very consistant though so I take that as a good sign. Having completed the service, two of the plugs were loose, not even hand tight with oil vapour collecting on one of the coils so that may well be the cause ...

I'm hoping someone might recognise the symptoms in the thread title, which afflicted my CRv about a month ago, and started pretty much instantly. I also have a nagging feeling that it is just hunting for power a bit a low speeds, town driving, accelerating away from junctions etc. It seems to change ...

adding a second tank is something I have often thought about, given that the powers that be are unlikely to approve of me towing a trailer mounted "bowser style" tank, then a boot cylinder seems most likley.

What are the issues involved with dual tanks. Isn't there a requirement in the COP that ...

I have deleted the Great Yarmouth Station, also updated the price at Ludham Flogas depot. We visit Norfolk regulalry with the Service station at Swaffham being my regular filling point and is a multiplier discount station. Sadly LPG is getting scarcer in Norfolk. Not too many years ago there were ...

It's returning 60mpg+ too.

I'd take it back and complain, ford quote an average consumption of 74! actually, unless you do a lot of urban driving or thrash the pants off it that isn't very impressive. My ten year old 4x4 returns the equivalent of 55mpg running a 2 litre petrol engine on LPG, and ...

Now is the time that an industry association would, were it worth it's salt, be lobbying Government to extol the virtues of LPG. Of course it should have been done prior to 2001 when the drive diesel incentives were initiated.

That lobbying should take the form of campaigning to maintain or even ...

Section 2.1.1 of the Boat Safety Scheme, the maritime equivalent of the MOT states that fule fillers must be installed in such a way as to prevent overspill entering any part of the boat, so the arrangement you suggest is not acceptable on a boat. The BSS does not as far as I am aware deal ...

diagnostics is something completely different and in my experience some people have it and others don't. Unfortunately these days it seems to be becoming a dying art.

I don't think the lack of quality aftercare is a new thing. I'm not going to recount the lament of the Mondeo from hell, I've ...

DI isn't trickling down, it's trickling up. Mitusbishi, Renault, Nissan, Ford, Peugeot, Citroen, Honda, Volvo etc all used DI engines long before BMW or Mercedes, though given the current reliability of Merc and BMW perhaps your right!

I can't see all electric vehicles being a sensible option for main stream motoring for many years yet. The "next generation" battery is about to hit the market and will offer a huge step forward but charging time will still be an issue. An 85kwh Tesla battery pack would still take more than 45 ...

You'll have you work cut out on the South side of Birmingham, an area which is already very well served with low cost Suppliers. If anything, the opposite side, North West offers better opportunities.

Regarding Tesla they are very nice, I wouldn't mind an S85P myself although you are in Range Rover ...

all kind of suggestions that the place may be changing hands, perhaps it has and they thought they'd up the price. It wouldn't take long to realise that trade would dissappear at 51p, there being a host of other sites locally between 43 - 46p

I note Fill LPG is back to 39.9 today.
