LPG Discussion Forum

it is a total nightmare on this car to check or change the rear plugs that's why I thought of looking at the lpg first and no I put an obd tester on yet but
I think will try that when I eventuall go home as at the moment stuck in North Yorkshire and cant go home

that is interesting because it is over 15000 miles and not sure when the rear where changed as it is a major undertaking
so I think i will look at that first thanks for the info

Hi i have a 2003 lexus rx300 fitted with a brc lpg kit

problem I am now having is when running on a light throttle lpg runs perfectly that is when running under 2000 revs but when you put your foot down as recently been traveling up and down quite a steep hill Sutton Bank in North Yorkshire the ...

Just wondering I run a Lexus RX300 on lpg and absolutely love the car but it is now getting a bit old so am thinking of buying the Lexus RX450 hybrid but am wondering if it can still be fitted with lpg as a big follower of lpg having used it for many years would not like to go back to petrol

I did email Morrison’s and got a standard reply sorry we are doing our best

I also contacted Bata in North Yorkshire and got no response from them

So it seems just bite the bullet and wait and see what happens

I have started using Asda in York now when I stay in the north

It is getting very concerning the number of sites which are now closed even a lot of Morrison’s sites are closed but there seems no urgency in rectifying the problems

Is there no way of putting pressure to get this sorted

You look at lpg site and see the number of not available sites very concei

It appears all of these sites have been shut down because of an electrical problem with there pumps

Except for Shell who are just closing lpg pumps and taking them out

Yes if you look on the lpg fillip site out of 17 sites in the North Yorkshire area 10 are not selling lpg that is a huge drop

There also seems to be a lot of Morrison’s sites around the country which are not selling lpg at the moment and more and more Shell garages are getting rid of lpg very sad,

Hi

As a regular visitor to North Yorkshire there has always been plenty of lpg garages until recently when all the garages serviced by Bata lpg have all stopped selling lpg.

I have asked why and was told there is an electrical problem with the pumps and are waiting to have them fixed

Just ...

Hi Brian

Thanks for that information I did change the filter last year about 6000 miles ago,

Unfortunately I cannot connect a laptop as mine died last year and am only using an iPad

Will have a look at the solenoid as I know the water level is ok as I check it regularly

Also has been fitted for about 10 years

Further to my question

Okay when on petrol

No codes showing

Plugs changed about 20000 miles ago

Took it today and gave it a thrashing very rare for me to do, over 4000 revs it switches back to petrol so guess it could be the vaporiser.

,

Thanks for that I will get all the information I can

Hi
My 2003 Lexus rx300 lpg which is a BRC system seems to misfire when you put your foot down over 3000revs on normal driving at around 2000 revs it runs very smooth

Any ideas would be very helpful

Hi
Thanks very much for the info this is what I thought I might have to do

Hi
I have a Lexus RX300 fitted with a BRC lpg kit which I must say is really good and very satisfied but I would like to add a second tank is there any special that needs to be done as I thought just fitting tees to the filler and exit pipe would be ample.

Any comments would be appreciated

My Lexusrx300 occasionally when changing over from a cold engine you can smell gas in the car for a couple of minutes

Most of the time it is fine no smell at all only occasionally any ideas what could be causing this ,oh it has a BRC kit fitted

Bob

It has started working sometimes it just starts to flash after a couple of minutes and it may just work so will leave well alone

Thanks for your reply

Hi

I am sure this is a common problem but my Lexus RX fitted with a bra kit when the car starts all the lights are on for about 5 minutes then they all start flashing no matter how much is in the tank

Any help would be appreciated

Bob

Thanks for that info I thought it would probably be the temp sensor so will check the wiring first and then change sensor
