LPG Discussion Forum

It was the 4g69 engine in my lpg car which was just a normal injection system. Ran well. I dont feel so bad scrapping the diesel now as the brake servo failed on the way to the scrapyard. I have found a 2008 2.0l ford s-max lpg converted, on the register too. I might return to the fight.

I wish the new mot test could use common sense with the engine light issue. My lpg Outlander converted by someone reputable previously on here with a brc kit had the light on for 8 years. Strangely I am having to scrap my good Seat diesel tomorrow because of the engine light which has been on for 4 ...

Two years without my lpg car now and I would just like to say that the replacement, a Seat diesel, is really pants. Thirsty and loud.
I still get some practice on lpg as the Outander my wife has played up lately. Multiple random misfire codes and top lamba sensor code led me astray and in the wrong ...

Totally agree. Factory fit is ok but how often do you see cars advertised with 'factory fit' so not a kit. They talk rubbish. Kits are slightly better and cheaper spares, easier to fix.

Old wifes tale. It does'nt make any difference.

You could do but it won't make any difference. I would stick with how it is, plenty good enough.

My mum's 1.4 petrol Pug/Citroen drinks fuel and we can't find anything wrong.
Me thinks the reason why Citroen/Pug converted the petrol Berlingo type vans to LPG was because of poor mpg.
20mpg is a bit rough though, could believe it in the vans. I still think 25-30mpg average is all you will get in ...

May I be pedantic and say how much I disagree with soldering any electrical connection when it comes to anything that vibrates or has sudden shocks. We learnt a long time ago in generator building that a joint which vibrates will last if crimped properly on multi strand cable. The advice came from ...

After many motorway miles in the last year at 4000rpm (indicated 80)the oil pump decided to fail and wrecked the engine, its been a good car 5 years and 80 thou on lpg. Could'nt replace the engine as they have to come out underneath and have not got the time. I needed a vehicle quickly and brought a ...

Last couple of weeks I have only been able to fill my single hole lpg tank half full. Gauge reads full but I only get half the miles before cut off and return to petrol.
Yesterday however it wont let me fill with any gas at all, forecourt pump just cant pump.
Any ideas? as I have to fix the ...

I know what you mean john. I do a bit of air conditioning work 'on the side' so to speak. Not that we have had a lot of summer so far :lol:
Its more of a general rant about the state of the industry, i understand everyone is struggling, which is why i try to be as competitive as possible, but the ...

The service consists of filter changes and checking/adjust of the lpg settings with the Prins software, and roadtest.
If the system is under warranty then I would have it serviced by an approved Prins installer. Prins software is not the easiest to get hold of yourself.

You have a few choices, its ...

Depending on what lpg system you have it's possible to start on lpg in warm weather. Disadvantage is the lpg injectors will not last as long, if you don't mind replacing them yourself and can do any job on a car this can save money in the long run. You also have the chance that if you start on lpg ...

Don't forget that you need a system that will switch straight to lpg every time the car switches from battery to engine around town or any other time for that matter or else you will use lots of petrol waiting to switch to lpg after 40 seconds,60 degrees or 1400 rpm is reached or whatever as this is ...

Lpg cars at Torrington ave,Coventry could probably do that. I see they are also selling a factory lpg focus on ebay at present.

They all seem to work. I have used all makes of lube with a drip system on my Outlander after bad valve seat rescession in 30k miles after conversion without. After 65k more miles the engine still ticks over fine instead of the hunting I had without valve lube.
Would not like to be a test case for ...

Yes but the cannister filter needs to be fitted to the pipe that feeds both injector rails so it needs to be on the right of the y-piece.

Yes, the Honda GX 390 models we have use the small engine Lovato reducer which Tinley have on their site. The 12v solenoid on the front of the vapouriser is operated during cranking by a timer set to operate for 10 seconds. This solenoid presses the diaphram and starts the thing the same as pressing ...

On both our cars you can hear the tank solenoid click in but not the one under the bonnet. You could also put 12v across the coil to see if they work, not if you can smell gas obviously or dont know which is positive or negative. The positive side has a mark on it usually although un-helpfully not a ...
