LPG Discussion Forum

my car will not automatically switch to LPG. I can do it manually by pressing the switch( keep the finger on it till the car start) then turn the ignition key on.

Any thoughts?

Country Wide in Ledbury Herefordshire is charging me 59p + VAT which comes to 71p per Liter. Happy with that.

"There is also a new staff member there who has moved from a LPG converter in cardiff that has closed - he listened and fell over himself to help me and make sure everything was running right. He seemed highly knowledgable on gas conversions and got straight to it himself, while talking me through ...

On my Honda, The installer went for the cheaper option of the drip Flashlube rather than the electronic one. I had the option of electronic.
Gravity one is cheaper by one third. They both do the same job ( as long as you get one drop every 6 seconds running to the engine)
Been googling a lot about ...

shenstar:
have you sorted your problem??
I am interested in knowing what is causing the smell in your car

I exactly had the same problem when slowing or stopping in traffic
I took it back and it was sorted.
the problem as explained to me is there was a faulty valve. when stopping the pressure do increase and the faulty valve leak causing the smell.

I take every thing on board. No hard feelings at all.
difference in opinions is a healthy thing. If any one get upset because I or the others disagree with him/her then I am not so sure what to say in that respect.
In other posts I did wish the DIY ers good luck and I did say Tubbs and the others ...

Gilbert:
Well said mate

sjones;
Earlier I said you are good at showing off. now I can say that you are full of yourself. no offence intended

Take care

sjones:
"i just think you've come to your limit of knowledge and now have to let others do stuff for you because it's beyond you"
or may be the difference between you and me is that your good at showing off...I am not.
Take care and best wishes

"Hi Indy:
The car should not smell gas at all...I agree.
but out of the 1400 miles, it smells for few seconds when slowing in traffic...then smell goes...I am baffled.
Will see them on Tuesday anyway."

I built my first computer in 1993 with the help of a friend. so useful to have some one next to you.
built my second computer in 1998 on my own but at least I knew how to do it.
In 2005 I realized that building a PC will save me only £280. yes it is big money but then I thought things are getting ...

joshnosh:
how are you going to save £600?
are you saying that all the components are less than £400?

on another thread by lpgnovice, he started his project of LPG conversion more than 2 weeks ago. still not finished.

And even professionals can get it wrong.

Best of luck.

Thank you Gilbert

It is certainly something the installer has to sort out.
No reason to accept a lower standard work.
