LPG Discussion Forum

They've agreed to revert back to my old price, which isnt that cheap tbh...

Yes, theres nothing they can do atm, due to north sea oil prices. - even though the letter said to get in touch if I wanted to negotiate a discount!

They said to try them in a week when they get the updated oil price and they will look at it then. I will let you know if I ever get any positive news.

yeah me.

I've emailed them....

Thanks, yeah I will take your advice.

Thanks Gilbert,

the ones that slow right down and dont go clunk, would that cause a 'dangerous' buildup of pressure?
Apparently Countrywide stores dont have a shut off capability in their pumps.

Thanks,

So when u guys fill up, how do you know wheb to stop?

broken again after 20 hours. 15 miles of use.

They are coming to us tomorrow. sigh

When Im filling up at Countrywide Stores, how do I know when to stop? I am worried im building dangerously high pressure into my tank! Unlike a conventional petrol station it doesnt click to a stop, rather the rate at which it fills becomes increasingly slower.

Am I building a massive PSI, Should I ...

Im not sure. Will it say on it?- I could take a picture.

I will have to remove some engine covers to get to it though.

We have had the car back, 'fixed'. but time will tell.

Originally we had a smell of gas on change over, and they altered a pressure release valve in the vapouriser.
This stopped the smell, but then we had this stalling issue.

Apparently the vapoursier has now been swapped for a new unit. But the ...

Its a full tank,

I will see what the say when they come to us. Tomorrow hopefully.

Well, the symptoms have changed over night!

It starts on petrol (although it was doing that 90% of the time yesterday so no change there)

But, It now splutters and dies as soon as it changes over to lpg. every time. so I have to run it on petrol!

I have contacted the installer - who said he will ...

Thanks for that.

Ive tried re-starting 10 times and its fine now! - I will live with it for a week or so and note the symptoms.

HI guys, I had the install 'fixed' on Thursday as it was smelling of gas. And now we have a new problem.
Friday and today it has failed to start - an hour after previous use. But started fine at the beginning of the day, and was fine for a few journeys in-between.

When I turn the key it idles at a ...

I have an account - it costs £5 to set up.

Anyone can have one - just fill in the forms. The beauty of it, apart from the locality for me, is that you dont need to remember your switch card as its D-Debit

any votes for unburnt lpg escaping from the exhaust?

I will take this back to the installer I think.

small update:

It only appears to smell after a cold start, just after change over form petrol (perhaps at the next junction). Also Ive noticed a slight spluttering if change over occurs while I jab the throttle while idling at traffic lights.

30 seconds later the smell goes and I dont smell it ...

Thanks both - amazing amounts of free knowledge on this forum.

i like

Thanks.

One question as an aside. If the LPG tank does not have a pump, how does the LPG get to the engine?

So if the LPG conversion hasnt effected the cars fuel pump, then maybe its something ive had but havent noticed before.

Will it be OK to live with? is there any 'problem' as such? also the car has done 95k - is it 'normal' to expect this noise after that many miles?

Thanks Gilbert.
