LPG Discussion Forum

I should have probably said long term, as eventually, lack of circulating fuel in the rail may cause it to gum up.

No personal experience, but I recall reading on a plausible sounding website that the amount of extra advance that an LPG fuelled engine benefits from is more at lower rpm. At higher rpm the situation was reversed, so the add-on devices which retard the whole advance curve a set amount won't ...

Bearing in mind that propane is less inclined to soot plugs up, you could be looking at petrol continuing to arrive in cyl 3 even when running gas. Perhaps an ECU or wiring fault, more likely a leaking petrol injector? That wouldn't show up as much when running petrol, but may be revealed in ...

Vaporiser and reducer are different names for the same thing.

Yeah, to be fair it stood up to the roll pretty well - this was the terrain it encountered.

Not sure I'll get the repairs looking invisible, but I've made a bit more progress!

That vapour MV looks very interesting - I was looking for such a thing a few years back (as I had a space single hole tank I wanted to use for a camper) but couldn't find one from a UK supplier. Ended buying a 4 hole tank from FES which to be fair meant I could get one that better fitted the ...

But it's the knock on effect if you have any problems for the next day that would be the real issue.
For me it's the implications of time pressure that would be the worry - I know there are some things I can do in (say) an hour, but I'd probably do a better job, not to mention enjoy it more, if I ...

Was that just with a standard bottle then? What fittings did you use?

Don't think this one would go on the public road without police attention!

It's been a while since I was on here last - I've been spending most of my time on a (non-LPG) project vehicle which has now hit the road for the first time in 10 years!

Anyway back to the question - some years ago we had a V8 ...

It might be a bit late, but I have a complete system with a dead ECU. I had the software, not sure whether I still have the install files.

I suppose if you have a happy customer it wouldn't hurt to say something like 'If you're happy I would appreciate your comments on the forum'.
I certainly would, if I was a pro - makes sense to get your name out there as a number of people join simply to find a recommended installer. It's ...

I can't look at the video now, but I've noticed before that recordings can often sound more 'metallic' than the engine sounds by ear - presumably due to the microphone being more sensitive to certain frequencies than others?

Simon and Rossko in agreement

Just for clarification, as the OP isn't that worried about current consumption (whereas mine could be running a fridge constantly), the 70 mA was the current drawn in the 12 V side of the circuit. I didn't measure the actual current through the solenoid, just wanted to know the battery drain. The ...

Out of interest, is this something you've come across when inspecting tank internals? Although I do realise that even if it's not been observed, doesn't mean it won't happen. And if I was taking on the responsibility of signing it off, I'd certainly want to check as much as I could!

If you're thinking of running it from something like a 7805 regulator, that won't be the most efficient as it merely dissipates the excess voltage as heat. I was going to build a circuit around a LM317T chip, using it for a switching power supply - then I realised I had several such circuits already ...

This is in fact what I've done on my campervan - I have a vapour take-off tank underneath which is a pain to isolate with the tap (have to get down on my hands and knees, undo the cover etc.) As I had a spare liquid solenoid kicking around I just used that. It is installed in 8 mm pipe and runs a ...

Has anyone had experience of fuel (petrol) stabilisers? I've seen them advertised for lawnmowers and the like, but no experience with them.

It isn't really clear what Tubbs is offering in terms of free tech support and motives seem a little unclear too
I'd think that YouTube is a potential big platform to get your name known, for free (apart from your time to do the videos in the first place). I don't think it'll make a huge ...
