LPG Discussion Forum

A belated happy new year to everyone on here + all the best for 2025 for now.
Just a bit of an update, its good to see Morrisons seems to have relented slightly on their prices lets hope the supply situ improves over time which it justifiably should do.
Ive put my lpg car on ice/sorn for a while in ...

Anyway so i took on board what you advised and I reversed the settings back to how they originally were just to rule that out,+ i didnt spot anything else amiss or changed there, so like you mentioned and i thought possibly too it couldnt have been just down to the switchover temperature change and ...

Thanks Simon yeah ill try and check tommorow and report back, ill check for any obvious solenoid connection s and take a look at my settings again, its not easy at mo tho cos my laptop batterys worn out like they do do + no i didnt touch any of the other settings on it bar those two.
Thanks
(Ps. Is ...

Hiya Simon thanks for the reply, nothing in those slightly modified settings of yours looks out of sync?
The symptoms are fairly frequently now, whilst running lpg seemingly randomly ill hear the solenoid ping in the boot to switch back to petrol, then usually shortly after it'll ping back onto gas ...

Thanks Richard, at the solenoid end at the tank end most likely?

Recently my cars started switching in and out of lpg, seemingly randomly, i can hear the solenoid clicking in and out in the boot.
I think its coincided with me changing my mapped switchover settings down to 25C, which i know is low, and a 2 second switchover delay, now changed to 3 but still doing ...

Well said that person

Hey some v interesting ideas there, the last setup sounds good, effectively using a gas bottle as a removable additional tank (like u say how safe + legal that is ive no idea / how u could make it that way but for safe monitorable use why not).
On my travels i see loads of discarded gas bottles ...

Thanks v much for your as always exceptional reply, yes i completely agree filling from bottles would increase the availability of fuel 10-fold, it seems like bottles can be exchanged all over the place, tho they do seem heavier than i thought, and prices do seem to vary quite a bit depending on ...

Hiyah Simon, thanks for the reply glad to see youre still v active, well thats handy + interesting (ill send you a pm with more specifics) and is another good option.
So generally, can you/ how much can you get the gas cheaper bottled, than say the cheapest forecourts available at all?
And do ...

Hi everyone I'm looking at trying to increase the longevity of running lpg at the moment and have heard/considered re-fuelling from gas bottles as well as from the available local filling stations but dont know much about + the feasibilty of doing this.
Does anyone do this at all is it possible ...

Hiyah not posted for a while but been following was gonna post my own thread but anyway this seems appropriate, anyway been running lpg again for the last 3 months after i sorn d my car and ran something else for a while.
I had to adjust my valves due to my own installation teethings etc (+ found a ...

Thanks for replying, yeah my valves dont look great ill try and upload pics/vid in due course for future ref, theres definite erosion around the valve edges, altho i can tell there is some form of compression what it actually is would be illuminating, but power seems to be back on my car which id ...

Cheers for the replies i was going to get round to fitting a valve saver but was temporarily seeing how it went but ve obviously created the wear in the interim setting it up myself but points well taken.
I was going to post pics/video inside my cylinder taken with my boroscope but they werent quite ...

Thanks for the replies ive only just noticed them for some reason.
Yeah, ive restarted my car after my hols, and its running ok albeit s idling high.
Its on a SORN at the min but ill stick it thro one more mot to hopefully get just another year of running out of it. (With a view to maybe run lpg ...

Soz ive not been on here for a while i noticed a few issues with my car ive endeavoured to fix whilst coincidentally running around in another car acquired for my nephew.
So having finally getting my car sorted out id diy-converted i noticed a few concerning symptoms i thought i better try and ...

Yeah I haven't been monitoring it and was pleasantly surprised I wonder if I got the last of it I'll try n keep an eye on it

Interesting, I only got half a tank in from empty but yeah it could be various things including my user error so I'll monitor it but it was defo still 58ppl id expected it to have gone up recently.
