Bloody 101 playing silly buggers today - no power at all,starts fine, runs without missing apparently, but nothing under the foot. Can vapourisers pack in fast ? Feels like he's fuel starved. Any ideas folks ? And to top it all,we got a puncture as we stopped, in the brand new tyres. Steve

I need a system certifying after a DIY install. Anyone know of anywhere?

Has anyone any old install notes for an Emmegas changeover/controller box ? Could do with some wiring notes please ! Steve

Hi, I did something very stupid today - I drove off with the LPG filling nozzile still attached to my car. Looks like the nozzle was damaged and so was the pump as it would not work anymore. Just wondering - will the cost have to be paid by my insurance company or are the forecourt insured for this kind of thing?

Hi Group, I thought I would let you know my thoughts on the Bigas SGI kit after I have finished installing it. I bought it from Tinley Tech. Including software, cable. No tank as I have this from my previous installation. Other sellers had rubbished the Bigas kit as it was cheaper than their kit. Eg Voltran VSGI and OMVL Dream suppliers. I found the kit well made and the instructions clear....

Hi group, Can anyone point me in the direction of the wiring for an accurate rpm signal on a Fiesta 1999 1.25 lx. I've got three wires multicoloured going into the coil? Or where is the signal going to the rev counter? Thanks for any help

stuck now, tried chris prefect for a 40 to 240 or so sender to allow the lpg tank to display it's contents on the van's fuel gauge, i asked for any sender/gauge that works with a petrol gauge rather than the leds. they replied saying they do no such component, So i'm stumped again, everyone says you can get senders to allow a lpg tank to be read on the cars petrol gauge, but where the heck...

Question: Is it possible to run an internal combustion engine with somthing other than motor oil as the lubricating or cooling agent? Does anyone know?

Having browsed the Chris Perfect site fairly extensively, I see they sell various fancy spark plugs like the NGK Iridium, for upwards of 10 quid a plug. Are they worth it ? Steve

I recently bought an '87 Range Rover EFi auto with most of an LPG system fitted. According to the chap I bought it from the LPG system had been "switched off", and he'd never used it anyway as there wasn't an LPG station near enough to his house to make it worthwhile, as the Rangey was cheap enough I figured it was worth taking a chance on. I'm not sure which system is fitted to it, there's...

I will need a DIY system certified - where can I find a list of certifiers? Thanks

This site seams to offer gas kits at good prices. Has anyone bought from them ? What have been the results ? Are you a happy customer ? Do you like 'em ? http://www.lpg-kits.com/index.htm Please answer as soon as you can as I have decision's to make in the next day or two.

I have just fitted an electronic ignition system to my 101 Landrover, 3.5L V8, running on LPG. I am sure I have cocked up the timing, but wondered if the symptoms I have show it to those of you who know about these things ? Hi Austin. Unless I richen the gas up very, very considerably, it doesn't fire at all, when I run the gas very rich, it fires then revs nicely for about 1-2 seconds and...

I've been thinking about liquid phase injection... The injection system on the sierra (K-jet) runs, IIRC, at a nominal 5.5 bar (or something around that, anyway). This is not far different to the pressure that you get in a propane tank, provided the temperature is something reasonable. is there any reason why I can't feed liquid LPG from the tank to the fuel distributor inlet on the K-jet...

I want to show the level of gas in my tank inside my motorhome, i've just fitted a red diesel tank for the heater, and have used a sender unit from an iveco, and got a couple of fuel gauges from the same vehicle, made a twin fuel gauge mini dash to mount on the motorhome's control panel, i never got a reading of the diesel tank sender unit's resistance, i recall it was near 280 ohms full i...

Hi, I wonder if anyone can help. I have just fitted a brc system, and have got it to work really well, in fact it runs better on gas that petrol. The only problem is the guage doesnt work on the swith unit. I have looked at the instructions, and it says look in the appendix for codes. THe only problem is I havn't got any appendixes. Is there any body out there who can help please. Many thanks in...

Where can I find information/description about BRC gas installations. I have "BRC Just" installed on my Lada Niva, but dont know if it is "Just Heavy" or "Just Junior", would like to know the diferences. Mine is vaccum controlled and I hear some backfiring from exaust while braking with engine on higher revs (~3000), installation and car are brand new and installer says that exaust...

It seems some people are paying a lot less for LPG than me (e.g. David Cawkwell stated in a post earlier today he pays 30 ppl.). I have recently got my car converted and there are only two sources I am aware of near us and both are ~46-47 ppl at the moment. I have heard very cheap LPG can be found at Country Wide Farmers (http://www.countrywidefarmers.co.uk/energy/autogas_sites.htm) but none...

I'm trying to search for car insurance for my 2.5 vectra estate which I got converted last year, can anyone recommend a particular insurance company which gave a reasonable quote. So far I've been quoted between £450 - £600, I'm used to £300 - £350 (before LPG conversion) Regards Mark
