No click from the reducer when I close the relay switch but I do get a click from the rear of the car.

My dashboard switch seems too small to have any diode inside it.

I'll have to post some pictures to try to find out what is what on this car, but those will have to wait.

I think I can see the ...

It gave up the ghost a few weeks ago. I get no green light on the dashboard LPG switch
Before it gave up, it seemed to switch the gas on and off repeatedly when driving.

I checked what I could find, and I found that a single yellow wire goes back to the tank, from the switch there are 3 wires ...

It is an original equipment switch as illustrated in the Corsa user manual.

No worries, I know where the wires go now.

It's sorted now.

I just had to check which one was 12V, ..... it was the red/black.

So red/black will go in the middle

and the others will determine lpg or petrol

As it happens, LPG is the red/yellow

I have not put it back together yet but all I need to do is check in the LPG position which ...

EDIT SOLVED NOW

Corsa Dual Fuel, fitted from new, All I can tell you about the system is that there is a aluminium cylinder with a wiring connection about the size of a fuel filter ....which says "NECAM" on it.... which is fitted inline in the fuel line, at the bulk head in the engine compartment ...

Does sound like I came close to disaster :( , thank you, I'm glad I asked now :shock:

I just ran it on petrol and all seems fine, I will top up with atleast another 5 litres petrol.

If the pump is on,..... the petrol is not going through the injectors otherwise it would go into the combustion ...

Richard,
The following idea was actioned but then "closed" so I can't see it on the ideas board anymore or add comment. The other ones which are completed can still be seen in the completed section. I've only found out what's happened because I can follow a link in my email inbox to the original ...

I say NECAM system the only clue I have to that is that there is a necam fuel filter apart from that I can't tell how to determine if the rest of it is necam or not, can anyone point me to where the box of tricks is usually fitted?, I see the regulator but there's no name on that either.

I don't ...

I just updated the filllpg map with recent posts on this thread, from Fortwilliam, Glasgow to London Beckton.

Please lets all make the effort to update the map with our local prices, we're all in this together. And if there are unconfirmed stations near you, go and check them and then confirm them ...

65p on £200 account at Abercynon which means that the Sully Road depot must be 64p (on £200)

66.7p at Asda M4 J31 Cardiff

All prices updated on filllpg

2003 53 Corsa 1199cc approx 270mile on 37litres

£10 = 15.4 litres
£10 = 112 miles

Normal combined driving on 'A' roads and motorway

I think the thread should be started again with How far do you get on 30 litres?
As it stands you can hardly draw any comparison between the posts because there;s ...

The only way to work out mpg is to go from empty tank (running on petrol to get to the fill station) fill it up and run to empty again, or fill it as many times as you like and record all the litres you put in and then finally read the mileage when you run it to empty.

nope, cause the software ...

See the only way to actually work out your mileage is to use the same pump every time. As you have discovered all pumps are set at slightly different cut off pressures. Or in the case of the calor pump vastly different to everything else you have come across !

The only way to work out mpg is to ...

My outlander runs at 21MPG on petrol.
The last fill on LPG was 36l @83.9p per litre.

So thats £30.20 LPG and I covered 168 miles.

Now I'm lost as maths is not my strong point.

Can anybody work this out for me please.

Barry


You take the number of litres "L" divide by 4.546 = No. of Gallons ...

Friend of mine has just joined and he is paying 53 + VAT

Surely a typo? Or maybe not, that's 63.6p per litre inc VAT right?

How many litres does he use? Was this the opening price for his account without any bargaining?

I'm in South Wales and go past the Bridgend site every day. It would also ...

There's no price information on the website, there's no price information on the pumps, there's no price information on the LPG Map (that I can see).

How are we supposed to make an informed decision on whether or not to join the scheme if we don't know what the price is?

And whether the price ...

Ended up not going at all.

Seems like my best bet.

I was supposed to go today but the M4 Newport traffic was diabolical. I didn't think about that, so I ended up turning home @ J28 9am I'll try again tomorrow morning Saturday, and this time leave at least 6am

You won't get any reliable figures if you are running xxxmiles then filling up and expecting the cut off to always be at the same point. pump to pump it will be different even the same pump at different times will vary the cut off point. The pump I fill up at will sometimes give me 37 litres on an ...

Going South tommorrow, I need to fill up on my way home, somewhere between St Austell/Plymouth and Bridgwater.

I already have seen Active Lad's thread M5 Somerset, 49.9p Taunton Sainsburys

Can this be beaten, is it still 49.9?
