LPG Discussion Forum

Actually, the price of Robins is on the way up. The chassis was dipped rather than sprayed so rust isn't often a problem. They can do over 60mpg on petrol. So, I reckon with a simple mixer system it should be possible to get the equivalent of 100mpg. Road tax is £76 pa. Now if anyone fancies a ...

"He is a glutten for punishment. Couple of years ago he went on one of those riding holidays in India where they supply you with the locally built version of the old Enfield. Seen that series where some of the Ice Road Truckers went to India - he's been on those, and he says something with the ...

The lube bit we thought may be a stumbling block, but the vacuum should be the same so oil 'injection' via the inlet was plan 'A' but how well would lpg carry the oil mist around? That's why he's got the kit btw. I've seized enough 2 stroke kart engines to see me out already. Flatting smeared ...

I'll repossess it from my equally eccentric mate and send pics. His plan was to see how a 2 stroke reed valve engine would react.
Just drifting slightly, recent scooters are all fuel injected and water cooled. They also have a generous underseat storage area. I've fetched an estate car 150 miles ...

Sadly a letter from Calor came today to explain that due to increased costs their LPG is going up, I believe something like 2ppl - letter's at work/I'm at home sorry. At least they fill for you!

The 'gas carb' replaces the petrol carb completely. I guess for farm use gas only wouldn't be a problem. Most bikes wouldn't have room for a mixer so the airbox would have to go. Probably do able though with a K&N.

As far as I can see, the qualities of a professional installer and maintainer needed are skills in plumbing, fabrication (the engineering sort..), auto electrics, computing, chemistry, combustion and fundamental 4 stroke engine understanding. Get a firm with all these staff attributes, without ...

I've got a quad lpg kit and the vaporizer is plumbed in the oil cooler circuit. It wouldn't take much more than an aftermarket oil cooler 'sandwich' adaptor if no cooler as std fit. I haven't fitted it to a bike yet as it obviously becomes lpg only, so if anyone can tell me how to use some form of ...

Is it only me that finds 'nibblers' produce thousands of really sharp crescent shaped tyre puncture/stuck in your hand splinter creators?
Best sheet metal hole cutters are those dual diameter shear type jobs - no heat, no swarf, no distortion, minimal paint damage.

Happy Easter

Sorry, I didn't explain. Thanks for the info.

Call me thick but multivalve? I have a tank which has the necessary 'ins' and 'outs', plus a level sensor. I need the bit you would plug the gun into, and the necessary piping to the tank, plus a cover for afterwards.
All the best,
Magneto

Filler assy wanted complete please. Have tank only at present, so need the rest.
Cheers,
Steve

Unfortunately WTV reckon the system is now obselete. Unusual comms system I noticed though, email only and a mail sent from another address despite having my name and the car details got me a ???? reply. Keith also advised me that a mixer system wouldn't be advisable due to backfiring risk. I must ...

The Morris Lubricants one I mentioned specifically states it is fine with catalytic converters btw.

Very pleased it's still fine, and I was about to install a used Zavoli kit on a 960 Volvo.
My 240 GLT suffered, after install, a light throttle miss, on gas. Or so I thought. One day, the Lord blessed me with the self same miss on petrol. All this after new leads, dizzy cap, ign amplifier, hall ...

You spell boll** in the traditional way, I see, and I agree the point too btw.
If the Morris's stuff is to be dispensed at the same 300:1 ratio as when in petrol, I calculate that if the car does around 22mpg (equiv. irrespective of cost) then 5 ltrs last about 7200 miles. How does this compare with ...

Well I've since researched this a bit. Flashlube is in fact a LR additive. The lead used to 'cushion' exh valve seats by virtue of the fact it didn't burn in the combustion process and therefore survived to do it. Bit weird though as it's so easy to melt. Morris lubricants LR additive came top in a ...

Sorry to be argumentative but 2 stroke oil stopped fouling plugs long ago. All 2 strokes, as I'm sure you know, run ball bearing mains and caged roller bearing big and small ends. These all need lube much less than the piston and bore. I'm not sure what flashlube does, or can do, except vaguely lube ...

Well, so far I've called twice and left messages with the private messaging service Motogas use to no avail. The website doesn't exist. Are they still trading?

Thank you, I'll let you know how I get on.
All the best,
Steve.
