Now i know why so many insurance write offs go from our auction houses to Poland etc. You guys have the tenacity to stick with it. We just throw it away. Well done.

Screwdriver out. Tighten the lpg jubilees. Old rubber pipes + cold weather = a small gap opening up somewhere on the connectors.
Im guessing of course.

That 'uk lpg certified' install pic with the gas line over the exhaust manifold proves what i already feel.
However, i think the current arrangement with lpg and the law is the best arrangement. More regulation will kill the lpg industry here. Why? Because we are not a low wage developing economy ...

35cm on my v6 rover 75.
Getting the map injection timings right and no leaks was what counted for me

Re: Alfa Twinspark to LPG

Back to the original poster.
I was in the same boat as you with my rovee 75 v6.
I bought tinleys 6 cyl king kit.
Pretty straightforward to fit and with a bit of guiding on the setup from tubbs i have a good solid install.
Tbh the software auto setups very well. It just needed very slight tweaking ...

Re: Filling With BP type hose (DeVissor type nozzle)

I consistently have problems with these nozzles too. the problem is made worse i think because most of the pumps are in the countryside and are worn out and as old as the hills.

Re: Freelander V6 questions from a newbie

Update:
If i remember the mil came on my rover 75 kv6 (same engine as yours) when i was commisioning the lpg.
I had NOT connected the pressure hose from the lpg rail to the lpg pressure sensor. :). Presumably causing the engine mix to go all over the shop.
Arf arf.

Re: Freelander V6 questions from a newbie

the mil engine light comes on when the enging goes open loop. Ie outside of the allowed parameters for petrol mix.
It is true that it takes an awful lot to get the kv6 mil light to come on. I managed it by not having the lpg kit properly connected. :)

Re: Freelander V6 questions from a newbie

I would expect about 20 mixed miles at least per gallon of lpg for an auto.
Is this the rover kv6 engine?
The rover v6 has rubbish economy if you floor it.
As others have said, do a tune up. Ie Plugs and filters.
Check brakes arent binding too.
I am guessing you have the rover v6 engine...

Re: Thinking of DIY lpg conversion.

As i said, please read it - perhaps i should say 'carefully' too.
Its a bit wordy, but if you grasp that there are multiple standards it starts appearing less contradictory, as said by the previous poster.

But then it is legal small print after all :)

Re: Thinking of DIY lpg conversion.

Please read this. It is the legal regulations for LPG in the UK as understood by the Department of Transport.
It will explain in plain terms what is required for your conversion to make it road legal in this country.

Re: Tubbs saved my life

Holy s**t
Words fail me when i look at that.
I thought the filler would be on a hose they stretched outside of the boot when you filled up.
A complete lack of understanding of how to safely handle lpg.
But yet it isnt rocket science.
