Re: Switch over
I am located in Surrey. To be honest I am not really interested in using it myself at this point, I would just like to sort out the problems if need be and swap it for the same vehicle without an LPG conversion or have the LPG conversion removed from the current vehicle.

Re: Switch over
I generally do not think that LPG is very good. When it was first installed it operated pretty badly, in terms of cutting out under acceleration. I never quite understood why they would complete the installation with bad settings and than change the settings after 1000 miles so that it does that ...

Re: Switch over
Based on my experience I would not recommend having an LPG system installed by Birway Garage Ltd.

Re: Switch over
As it is a toroidal tank underneath the vehicle it would have to lay flat like the spare wheel it replaced. The LPG fuel line runs out of the tank on the NSR of the vehicle.
I am unsure if this is a problem with the LPG system or a limitation?

Re: Switch over
The pickup in the tank is adjustable? It is a GZWM tank. The guage leds that indicate the tank level do not change under acceleration.

Re: Switch over
It is a Jeep Commander 5.7 L HEMI. The LPG system is a BRC Plug & Drive with a Genius Max reducer and orange injectors. It was fitted at Birway Garage Ltd.

Re: Switch over
It has been doing it since the conversion. Just after the conversion it used to do it all the time no matter how full the tank was and than the pressure was increased at the 1000 mile service and now it just does this when the tank is closer to empty than it is to full. The tank is a 4 hole toroidal ...

Switch over
Is it is normal for an lpg system to switch over to petrol under high revs when the lpg tank is not full (36 litres in tank, 102 litre tank, flashing reserve light)? Or does this mean that the system needs its pressure increased?

Re: LPG Removal
The LPG tank doesn't hang that much lower than the spare wheel used to, I just prefered the look of the spare wheel rather than a steel tank. I think the vehicle can use four tanks of LPG with one tank of petrol, which would allow 1250 miles worth of driving. The LPG system is a multipoint ...

Re: LPG Removal
The LPG system doesn't have a problem, I just prefer to run it on petrol because of the nature of LPG and that having tried LPG it is not for me.
With petrol the vehicle runs through the power band until there is no petrol left. With LPG the vehicle doesn't run through the powerband until there is ...

Re: LPG Removal
I do prefer running the vehicle on petrol rather than LPG and the price of petrol is decreasing; LPG is about a third cheaper than petrol.

Re: LPG Removal
It appears it would probably be easier to change the vehicle to one that has not been converted to LPG. The reason I asked is that I had my vehicle converted to LPG and I don't use the conversion, so I have the downsides of having the LPG equipment on the vehicle (lack of spare wheel, servicing of ...

I was wondering how feasible it is to remove an LPG conversion and restore a vehicle to the condition it was pre LPG?

Re: Hemi
The led on the switch is red when it is running on petrol, than turns yellow when it is switching between petrol and lpg, than green when it is running on lpg.

Hemi
I know that the 5.7 Hemi is not listed on the lists that I have looked at by BRC and Prins in regards to suffering from valve seat recession, therefore not requiring the fitting of a system to provide upper cylinder lubrication.
However I was wondering what the long term effects of running one on ...
