LPG Discussion Forum

It's a Chrysler PT Cruiser, 2 litre auto.

I've got a price from Auto Tech in Ripley and I'm waiting to hear from LPG Conversions in Heanor.

Cheers,

Hi folks,

So after a bit of a faff with my own motor (which is nearly right now - thanks to Mr Gilbert!) - her Royal Wifeness has taken note and is contemplating having hers converted, on the premise that it's very low mileage (66k on a 2001 car) she really likes it still and we know it inside out ...

Interesting range of views on this so I thought I'd chuck in my four penn'orth - I've worked for a generator company for the past fifteen years and we've made literally thousands of gas sets.

There's no set-up required on the Hondas when you use the basic kit. There's a doughnut adaptor that goes ...

Once again that's a very kind offer and I think I have to say yes this time. It'll cost a few quid but then so will the next couple of weeks anyway and if I'm lucky I might get to drive back on gas!

Plus if I remember right, doin git on the car is the only way to keep all the config in place isn't ...

Right gents,

As you switch the ignition on, you get ONE very brief flash from the red (petrol) light. After that, nothing frm any of them no matter what you do.

While driving, very occasionally you get the same, brief flash from the red.

Hi Gilbert,

No, it's not that - I was measuring on the wires that go to the switch/gauge unit.

Anyway, just to try to make the best of things, I've relocated the Leo's own earth and it's now 0.1 ohms. So, there's the same voltage across the Leo inputs as I can read directly across the battery ...

Right folks, this may be my last post if I don't get somewhere - after two weeks on petrol, I'll be shopping for a Leonard Cohen album and a packet of razor blades!!

It's a nice day today - the first in a while - so having that special combination of dry, warm, daylight and time, I;ve been quite ...

Well yes, that's the thing that gets me.

It switched at 2000 but to go back to the beginning, the lights were always sporadic yet the system would usually operate correctly regardless - it just didn't announce it and then the yellow light would usually come back later.

All I have now is a very ...

Well there's a couple of things I can quickly do in that case - I can run a wire straight from the battery just as a quick test and I canput a meter on the blue output because I don't think it even tries to switch.

In that vein, could it perhaps not be getting the rpm input on the brown? I don't ...

Gilbert you inspire me!!

Yes, the brass monkeys are looking a bit concerned here too but I have bigger fish to fry so damn the cold!!

Right, all measurements wrt battery negative - we have a static battery voltage (ignition off) of 12.42.

Ignition on, we have 12.06.

On the Leo, SW+ reads 11.90 ...

Evening gents!

Thanks to everyone for the advice so far. I haven't improved anything except my understanding but my confidence in both myself and the Leo system has also increased.

I did wonder earlier if perhaps we'd inadvertantly (ok then, clumsily) introduced a short on the board so that the ...

It would be great to have a better understanding of all this, there's so much I want to do (or undo!!) on it!!

There's a nice 90 litre tank in my gsrage waiting to meet the underside of my truck but when I do that, I want to clear up a whole list of nasties at the same time.

Meanwhile I'm hoping ...

Ta muchly!!

I suspect +5V as I measured something like 4.6ish when I was poking around.

Would it be sensible to assume that the switch returns that voltage on the other half of that pair then? I've got red & black and brown & blue.

If I can figure out the functions of the pairs, maybe I can rig ...

Thanks for that! I've been reading your previous posts and already improved my understanding massively!

I should probably say I've had this truck two years and it's faults aren't new - they're just a long liust of things that I've been chipping away at. It's also my second Explorer - the first had ...

Hello folks, new here and delighted to find this abundance of experience.

I have a 98 Ford Explorer which has on it a “mongrel” single-point system as far as I can see. I’m loathe to say “installed” as I think the guy sort of threw a box of bits under the open bonnet as he ran away with the money ...
