Anyone ever had problems with Bigas solenoids failing? Car's been running a bit raggy for a few days lately (rough at idle on gas), but today it cut down to 3 cylinders on my way home. When I looked into the problem, I found one of the solenoid valves had broken in to 2 pieces (the bit inside which moves up and down). They're high speed solenoids (whatever that means) and they're fitted to...

My car's just failed the MOT & the garage is going to rectify the failure & retest. There were also some advisories (front brake pads, discs & bad earth on rear light), which I've rectified myself. When they retest & issue a certificate, can these advisories be removed from the new certificate, as they've been corrected?

Just looking for some advice here. Car is a 2005 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2 with 67,000 miles on the clock, factory fit LPG system. A few weeks ago when I started it on a cold morning it was not running well and the "Exhaust Emission" warning light flashed a few times and then stayed on, I had managed to cover about 1/4 mile, thought it might be dual fuelling so switched over to petrol. Restarted...

Hi everyone, My first post into this group, is this the only UK LPG usenet group or are there some others I should know about? Anyhoo, I am the proud new owner of a factory fitted Corsa 1.2 16V life 2003 '53 (Dec 2003), so far i am fairly happy with it. But I am confused about the emmissions, my V5 (registration document) has it listed as

I do wish people would stop trying to perpetuate this crap! Don't you would think if we could cut our fuel bills by half for a low outlay we'd all be doing it by now!

Hi, Could anyone please tell me why there is not charity organizations being setup selling BioFuels? #1 As it being a charity this would stop the high taxes being sold on the fuel as it is not profit making (yet for non commercial usage). #2 Would allow commercial users of oils (e.g. Restaurants etc) to be able to donate their used oil FREE instead of heavy costs of waste removal

Due to the high price of petrol, I note large engined cars are suffering heavy depreation so therefore a bargain can be had until you hit the pumps of course. So natrually LPG would equal the balance, however it takes so long to pay for its self in the uk there is little point, as depreation eats away at savings. so does anyone know the different prices for installations in different countries...

Hi there, can anybody give me a bit of advice? I have a Prins VSI system fitted to my Vauxhall Vectra and i have been having a lot of problems recently. It started about 2 months ago, i could run on gas but only for about 10 mins then it would switch back over to petrol on its own giving me a loud beeping sound from the switch. I thought this might be a coolant problem because the reducer never...

Hello all, Anyone have a user and password for BRC to share? George.

im planing to convert my 1998 civic EK3 (1500cc) to LP gas. im wondering whether any one can help me find a specification for suitable LP gas mixture.

Can anybody help? I have a prins autogas system which was fitted before i bought the car. The car has been running great until about 3 weeks ago when it changed over to petrol on its own one day. Never thought owt about it at first but now it happens every day! It also takes about 2-3 minutes to kick in from cold start, is this normal? Another thing, the car seems to pull away pretty lame seeing...

I am fitting an LPG system to a Talbot Express 2.0 and am experiencing dangerously lean fuel mixture when running on petrol (the LPG system has not been completely fitted yet, but I need to retain good petrol performance). I have installed a lambda probe just below the exhaust manifold and a dashboard Lambda gauge to instantaneously monitor Air/ Fuel (A/F) ratio. I have conducted several test...

Hello all, Is it allowable to mount a dounut tank in a wire frame under slung spare wheel carrier? Also is there a table to compare tire size to tank size? TIA. George.

Hi I converted my 2002 Vauxhall Zafira 1.6 Comfort to run on LPG last year. I used a Biogas system from Italy. After converting it, the car ran fine until recently. When running on gas, it now appears to be running too rich. I've tried to reprogramme the Gas ECU using the software that came with the kit, but I'm not really sure what I'm doing.

I've just bought a 2001 factory LPG focus and it's got similar problems to these: http://groups.google.co.uk/group/uk.rec.cars.fuel.lpg/browse_frm/thread/9a0b49022e679671/08812eedc57cc0dc?hl=en#08812eedc57cc0dc It doesn't start well and stutters under hard acceleration on LPG, although it accelerates fine on petrol - so I wondered if the filter may need changing. Changed the HT leads to no...

I've been playing with the settings on my vaporiser (including the 'response' screw on the front) - bin swapping engines so i had to! Its currently running and idling but likes to try to stall when you suddenly let off the throttle (like when you change gear) Does this mean i have the screw on the front of the vaporiser too far out or too far in? Is the diaphram now too loose or too tight? I...
