I had a similar issue with my 2.5 Omega running the excellent ESGI II system.

I found I was getting what felt like fuel starvation at around 2400 rpm on moderate throttle at about the point the autobox would normally upshift on a light throttle.

I played around with pressure settings and got ...

Re autogaslpg. co.uk. Bought stuff off them a couple of times and pleased to report excellent service.

Goods well packed and prompt delivery.

Bought an ESGI kit a while back and am well pleased with it, especially the price.

May be worth speaking with Richard Strange at Ullswater Road Garage, Penrith Tel: 01768 864546.

He's converted this type of Jag and is a gold mine of information.

I've seen the finished result and it's mighty impressive. He'll give you all the gen on what reducer to use, etc..

Calor at Carlisle still 49.9ppl just of J44 M6 - on the Kingstown ind estate.

Cheaper than Gretna or any of the M74 rip off merchants if heading into Scotland.

Office hours only plus Saturday mornings.

The downsides are that I'd need a Good Vehicle Operators Licence, the ferry companies charge as freight, the French Motorway tolls are double what they are for a car and then there's all the tacho regs and driving hours complications. As an alternative, I'm now looking at getting a Range Rover and ...

I've had similar problems with this Koltec system on my 8v Astra 1.6.

I usually manage to effect a cure by removing the vapouriser and inverting it to drain off the inevitable build up of heavy ends that accumulate.

You'd be amazed at how fussy and fragile this system can be.

I've formed the ...

Try Richard Strange at Ullswater Road Garage, Penrith, Cumbria. 01768 864546.

They run a couple of Dodge RAMs on LPG which are used as recovery vehicles.

Richard knows an awful lot about LPG on huge engines and the issues that need to be addressed with such vehicles.

URG are vastly experienced ...

I travel regularly from Cumbria to Cornwall and always make sure I'll be nearly empty around j12!

It could be worth your while buying a USB - 9 pin serial adapter plug. Cost is a few quid off evilbay or slightly more from a computer shop.

My OMVL Dream XX1n uses the same electronics and RS232 lead for the generic AEB hardware.

For whatever reason the RS232 lead via an adapter works better than ...

Try FES Autogas for tanks. They are importers so there's no middle man's mark up.

Have a look at their tank website which has the widest range of tanks I've seen.

It appears that their site is being updated at the moment, so you'd probably be best to ring them.

If ...

I could recommend Beru plugs, which tend to be found ex-works rather than afterfit.

I found a set in a Tickford LPG converted LT35 (Merc Sprinter engine) with 120k on the clock. It was running fine, so you can ...

Try Keith at http://www.wtv-uk.co.uk . He now has some silver electrode plugs at reasonable prices.

Read his section on spark plugs to see why he recommends them.

The NGK number ending in QUP suggests it's a platinum tipped plug, which is best avoided as stated previously.

The copper equivalent ...

Seconded!

Having unwittingly been suckered in to becoming a lab rat for yet another "latest state of the art" system, I would suggest billynoband's advice be heeded!

Fortunately my tale had a happy ending. I paid by credit card so was able to get my money back through section 75 of the consumer ...

Hi Astralpg,

EGR valve was my first thought when I started reading your initial post.

I would strongly recommend NOT blanking this off! It's not there just for the fun of it and does considerably more than reduce emissions of NOX.

There are hidden consequences when doing this mod. The ...

Richard at Ullswater Road Garage (Penrith) rates OMVL's Dream reducer for high power applications.

He says it doesn't suffer from temperature drop during prolonged high gas demand periods like some other compact reducers.

URG have latest OMVL Dream system fitted to a Dodge RAM which they use as a ...

I have a Dream XX1-N which I DIY fitted to a V6 Omega. It was a straightforward installation and didn't bugger up the car's Engine Management System.

That was a few years ago and it's done about 90k since. All I've had go wrong was a failed solenoid coil on the reducer which cost £25 and took ten ...

Cannot be 100% sure of exact part number for your car but I believe NGK BKR6EK is suitable and will fit.

In any case I would recommend only standard spec NGK copper core plugs above any other make or type from personal experience.

Whatever you do avoid anything fancy or exotic such as platinum for ...

Could be the solenoid coil on the reducer. See if the plastic casing has split.

These fail for a hobby!

Hi Paul,

Is your Dream XX1 a very early one with a vacuum pipe on the ECU?

Reason I ask is that the XX1n is a good system and I'm surprised you've had ongoing problems.

What size engine are you running?

If you're a 2.0 litre the Stag nozzles should be ok at 2.5mm - I'd only go larger if you can ...
