LPG Discussion Forum

Richard, I thought you around the Langley area. There is a BP station at Brands Hill behind the big Honda building. I used to fill there before the beastie had to come off the road. Noticed that BP at White Hart in Northolt and Victoria Road Ruislip are both at 47.4p/l. Sadly, I am still debating ...

I was wondering if Amit did get an answer to his problem, he could be in a bit of a pickle now if not! <BR> <BR>Martin

If this goes any further, we'll get a dressing down from Damien! <BR> <BR>Martin

I am in the process of deciding whether or not to convert, or have converted, the latest old Rover 214 (1994). The cost per litre of Autogas is a consideration and today there is still a 40p differential between gas and petrol (W London, BP). It is most irritating, yes, that LPG seems to go up and ...

Thanks for that top tip Mark, must remember that when the head gasket goes on my latest Rover! <BR> <BR>Must get some ideas on what system would be best for the Rover 214SEi, multipoint injection. I want to use the existing doughnut tank from the old car to keep costs down. <BR> <BR>Great to read ...

Sorry, I can't resist not sharing this snippet with you all. I subscribe to EV World and this item came up... <BR> <BR><a href="http://www.pmlflightlink.com/archive/news_mini.html" target=_top>http://www.pmlflightlink.com/archive/news_mini.html</a> <BR> <BR>At the moment it has a 250cc petrol ...

The chap that installed my Landi open loop mixer system was at Gas'N'Go LPG Installations and Servicing in Southall, West London. I don't know if he is still doing Landi though.

Thanks for that Mike. <BR> <BR>The old Rover 214SLi has a single petrol injector, the mixer sits below the injector housing and throttle body. The regulator is Renzo Landi SE 81. found this link: <BR><a href="http://www.landi.it/eng/prodotti/scheda_prod_gpl536004000.html" target=_top>http://www ...

Greetings CS. <BR> <BR>The replacement Rover 214SEi (oh, how I wish I could get a new one!) is on an M plate, assume 1994. My colleague is still trying to sort out V5. <BR>It has the K16 rover engine and has multipoint injection using the MIPS ECU. Engine was replaced three years ago, just before ...

Greetings folks. <BR>My old Rover 214 has just suffered another knock back which has made the scrap heap in the sky an imminent likelihood. For the last 4 years it has run a Landi Renzo mixer setup with a 48Ltr donut tank in spare wheel bay. <BR>I have been given a later model 214 with multipoint ...

That's what I like about this forum, you learn something new every day! Perhaps I have been unlucky in that probably all the cars I have owned contained a valve to regulate water through the heater matrix! (At least 5 old minis with leaky or stuck valves plus the rovers! <BR> <BR>Bill's suggestion ...

Hi would not have thought plumbing through the heater a good idea, what happens when you shut the heater off for the summer? I don't know how your vehicle works re cooling, mine has a hose from the cylnder head that tees off to the heater inlet and then goes to the inlet manifold. My vap is spliced ...

That's interesting Mark. <BR> <BR>My trusty rusty Rover 214 has a simple mixer system. The "gas ring" sits neatly between the single petrol injector and the butterfly in the throttle body. There is no restriction at all in the bore caused by the "gas ring" (sorry, don't know what else to call it ...

Hi Damian, <BR> <BR>Seems to me that BP are charging the same price for LPG across the country. I am based in Hillingdon and the garages here all charge 47.9ppl. Took a trip to Manchester on Monday and all the motorway stations with LPG were the same price. <BR> <BR>Martin

Hi chaps. <BR> <BR>Using the power of excel I can tell you that since I started using LPG in my Rover 214SLi (1.4L)in August 2001, it has covered over 50k at an average 4p per mile. (Landi Renzo mixer system) <BR> <BR>Last month was a pig in terms of travel, stuck in traffic most of the time 6.3p ...

I very rarely run my old rover 214 on petrol, always starts on gas whatever the weather - in fact, starts better on gas in cold weather. Perhaps because I have a small engine (in comparison to you good folks!)it doesn't suck so much gas through to freeze up fast and the evaporator gets heated ...

Hi John, <BR> <BR>I am new to this forum but can sympathise with your idling problem and would like to put forward a possible solution. My car, a humble Rover 214, after four years of trouble free service started to stall on idle. At first this was intermittent (fortunately did not do it when I took ...

Many thanks Mike, I shall make a mental note not to fill with more than 38 litres! <BR> <BR>Do you think the valve should be looked at or shall I just carry on as I have done for the last four years? <BR> <BR>Final question - plug gaps. I am using Bosch 4 electrode plugs and have left them at the ...

Having joined the forum very recently and been in receipt of many and varied emails since, I have a question. <BR> <BR>My trusty old Rover 214 has a 48 ltr donut tank in the spare wheel recess. Most of the time I drive the car to empty on gas and run to the filling station on petrol. Why is it that ...

Part 2 (gopt carried away) <BR> <BR>Kevin (the proprietor, great bloke!) commented that the installed system was now old technology and parts difficult to get hold of. After lots of head scratching and part comparing he came up with a solution. He took the coil from the main throttle valve/isolator ...
