LPG Discussion Forum

I had the same problem on a discovery v8 last year , ran fine unless i floored it then it would cut out when i came back off the accelorator.... i never got to the bottom of it but always assumed the system wasnt reacting quick enough to adjust the mixture.

Hi ,

No its single point injection - 1 injector serves all cylnders. - was quite suprised myself to see this on such a modern car.
Its a year 2000 1.6 8 valve if that also helps

thanks Ryan

Is it a bad move to be starting it on gas straight away once its warm? i was told to start mine on petrol first then wait for it to change over , but it can start on gas immediately , does it increase the blowback risk?

Hi all

Will be servicing my discovery soon , is their a major advantage of using iridium plugs rather than standard ones then? apart from the long life of them?


Many thanks , Ryan

I think we all agree that modern engines need sequential or liquid injection systems on them... but on the right cars and with the correct maintainance im sure theres also plenty of people on here with mixer systems that work perfectly well , including a couple of landrover discoveries. - mixers are ...

Hi

Friend of mine has a discovery 3.9 with a sequantial gas system - romano i think
can these sequential systems be set up to start on gas? short journeys he does in his mean its running petrol alot of the time as it starts on petrol and waits to switch over even when warm



Thanks

Not had any problems with my discovery 3.9 on a mixer system. assuming that engine is well maintained and the gas instalation is good , a mixer system should work ok on that engine.

Worth checking its a closed loop mixer though! , if it isnt catalytic converters wont be lasting long
