Misfire under load by Peter
What could possibly cause misfire in one cylinder only when running under load, rpm range 2-3K? It's V6 engine with separate coil pack for each cyl, and plugs have been changed couple of months ago. It idles smoothly so I'd tend to exclude any vacuum leaks. Misfires only when running on LPG (single point closed loop), petrol runs just fine. When it misfires Check Engine flashes (and computer...

Chrysler fuel mixture lean - how to fool the PCM? by Peter
Can anybody tell me _exactly_ how Chrysler PCMs determine 'fuel mixture lean' condition? I'm running Dodge Durango 99 on propane, and PCM consistently throws P0171 condition. Propane computer (Autronic) feeds emulated O2 sensor signal into vehicle PCM, and allows me to set emulation parameters: time low (0V) and time high (1V). I've tried reducing 'time low' to simulate richer mixture, but...

Replacing SGI gas vapour filter by Dave Griffs
My BRC sequent 24 SGI system has now done 12K. As I had the conversion done over 100 miles from where I live it's a problem to take the car to the installer for a service. He did say if I don't have it serviced, the most important thing to do it to change the vapour filter (not the liquid one built into the solonoid valve), every 10K or else the injectors may block. Is it simply just a case of...

Fuel Tax on LPG by jon
Some years ago I changed my vehicle and also the fuel I used from petrol to diesel both for price and economy. Now the economy is still better than petrol but the price at the pumps is dearer. The government increased the tax when more people began to buy diesel cars. What is to stop the government increasing the tax on LPG to bring it in line with other fuels?

Get Out Of My Car! by Lynn
Watch this little old lady get her car back from a bunch of thugs! I wouldn't be surprised if this hasn't happened already in some of the more self-reliant areas of our Country. (Sorry, this doesn't include Kerry or Kennedy Country.) But alas, it is pure fantasy here - it appears that the video was made in the UK or Australia - places where owning a any type of self defense weapon is against the...

water in tanks? by tcarter
I've heard that LPG gas bottles (refillable - for BBQ's, caravans etc) can contain water after being refilled many times. Is this true? Does it affect car LPG tanks in the same way and, if so, how should it be dealt with? Regards, Tony

sorely tempted by tcarter
I've had a look at the FAQ's and read through the postings here. It's your experience and opinions I'd appreciate. I'm sorely tempted to go for a 2002 Volvo S40 1.6 that was factory fitted with dual petrol / LPG. It was a former demonstrator and after one owner has 31k on the clock. Priced at about £8k. So...... Do you think it will be underpowered (I'm no boy racer)?

The Failure of LPG by Silk
The take up of LPG is doomed to failure. I believe it's for the following reasons: - 1) Dual-fuel cars limited to basic spec engines. 2) Diesel cars are still cheaper to run because, although LPG is cheaper per litre, the economy of a modern diesel makes up for it.
