LPG Discussion Forum

Hello,
sorry for delay in getting back, a busy week.

Its a toroidal single hole tank.

If I run the tank empty and remove the multi valve is it likely that bending the arm is worthwhile or replace entire valve?

Hello
I have a small issue with a recently acquired LS430. It has a 71L toroidal tank so I would expect a fill of around 56 litres when run till it refuses to run on gas anymore. That has been my experience on the 10 previous LPG cars I have owned and enjoyed over the years.

This one, however ...

Hello
my lovely 1996 Mk3 LS400 is for sale on ebay:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/130797000759?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

It was converted in Feb by Tubbs, so you should know all is well with the set up.

I had no plans to sell the car any time soon, but a really nice Mk4 ...

Hello
I have been running Rover 827's with the Honda 2.7 V6 engine for the last 6 years and over 100,000 miles of trouble free driving.
They use simple single-point systems, no flashlube and have just worked perfectly.

Anyway, my daily driver will soon be a 2001 Accord Coupe with the 3.0 V6.

The ...

Hello
looking for someone to do a conversion on a 2001 Accord 3.0 V6 in Shropshire..
Any suggestions and comments would be appreciated.
Thanks
Tim

that is a good option. I have no wish to pull off or modify the manifolds, so I guess it can go anywhere in the downpipe itself? ebay is full of "universal" sensors with 1,2,3 or 4 wires. Anyone able to advise on wiring one into a car not intended to have one?
Cheers

Hello all
just finished my 3rd install of a Leonardo single point system on a Rover 827 - the Honda V6 engine.

The first two I did both work fine and I am very pleased with them, so seems an obvious choice to use the same setup on this latest addition.

All has gone well, except this is an earlier ...

Hello all
this is sort of a continuation of a thread I started a few months ago.
I have a Rover 827 Coupe that I fitted a Leonardo system to about 20k miles back, and it has been splendid right up until it failed completely!
It now will not run on gas at all - flicking the switch just makes it ...

Hello
just had the lappy on it. The Lamda reading is staying put at around 0.67 V, on petrol and gas. I seem to remember it used to "bounce" between top and bottom of the scale? I would expect the rover ECU to throw a fault code if it thought the Lambda was out of range, but no sign of that.

The ...

Hello again
just spent the morning swapping out the Tartarini vap for a brand new Voltran Major. Still running very rough indeed and undriveable.
Any ideas? It still has the stepper motor I swapped during the week too, so not a whole lot left really!

What is the set up procedure for the new vap ...

Thanks for the reply, sorry I took a while to respond. The vap is unknown age and I have never touched it, other than plumb it in initially.

I swapped the stepper motor at the weekend ( found one in my box of bits) - but no effect.

I have acquired a cheap, brand new, Voltran vap - so as soon as ...

Hello
I have a Rover 827 Coupe that I fitted with a single point system about 20k miles ago. Its a Leonardo ECU and a Tartarini Vap - both were second hand when I installed. All has been fine until recently. Refilled the tank and drove a few miles, when it started to splutter and cough and became ...

thanks again. However, with no yellow wire it is necessary to use injector emulators to cut the fuel supply. They are not needed on the Rover 827, so its just unnecessary complication.

I will just use a 5 pole relay with the injectors supply going through the normally closed connections, and hook ...

Hello again, thanks for the reply
My box is a Voila Plus - AEB170

That does not appear to be described on the AEB website, so the one I linked to was AEB170TCEI ( no idea what the differences may be ) - but the wires from my box ARE as shown in the lnk - no yellow wire.

Any clues?

I would really ...

Hello again
I posted a few weeks ago about fitting a Voila Plus to my Rover 827.
It is now mostly done, and I am now doing the wiring.

However, the Voila Plus does not seem to have a Yellow wire, with which I can cut the signal to the petrol injectors. Diagram shown here:

http://www.aeb.it ...

yes, the yeloow wire is spliced into the feed to the injectors, so they just get switched off when running on gas. Seems to work just fine.

Thanks for the reply - I guess it's going to be the Voila, as its the closest to the Leonardo I know a little about..
Cheers

Hello again,
first, a bit of background, then some questions..
I am afflicted with a fondness for the Rover Sterling with Honda 2.7 V6 engines, and naturally use LPG to be able to afford the low 20's MPG.
I got my first one with a kit already installed - the Leonardo. I ran that for 30k miles with ...

Thanks for the reply, will get the spirit level out as soon as I can find some time. Got to fit a second kit to my second Rover in next week or two, so will check it then.
Cheers
Tim

Hello
I have a similar problem with a system I removed from a scapper and fitted to my Rover. It runs great and all is well, but the 90litre cylinder tank never takes more than 40 litres, which really limits the range.

I guess the most likely cause is the float arm being wrong, but any other ...
