Can't get any lpg in my tank.

#1 Post by billynoband »

Last couple of weeks I have only been able to fill my single hole lpg tank half full. Gauge reads full but I only get half the miles before cut off and return to petrol.
Yesterday however it wont let me fill with any gas at all, forecourt pump just cant pump.
Any ideas? as I have to fix the handbrake as well this weekend.

Would you believe a bat has just flown in the house through the open kitchen door, flew around the lounge in a figure of eight for a bit then I opened the patio door and it left. Never had one of those in before.

Quite a week you're having,
They say things always come in three's.....

As for the filling problem, it may be that your float is sticking or it might be that you had run it right down to nothing and the temperature difference between ambient and the cold gas from the filling station tank had caused the non-return valve to stick shut. Did the pump start but only put a little in or did it simply not start. If the latter, it would have done if you had waited long enough.
