Air Intake by
Dadio
LR Discovery (1995 3.9 V8i)
The diameter of the air intake on my plenum chamber is about two and a half
inches where it joins the large bore rubber tube which links it to the air
flow meter and then on to the air filter.
Presumably this large diameter is to allow plenty of air flow into the
cylinders and is a necessary part of the design.
The mixer supplied as part of my lpg conversion kit fits...

Traffic needed. Can anyone help? by
Paul King
Hey everyone,
I'd like to ask your advice, or at least the advice of all of you who are either interested in, or already involved in, creating income from the internet.
I'm not exactly experienced in on-line money making, in fact all I've managed so far is money losing! I don't suppose anyone gets it completely right first time so I'm sure you all know what I mean. Probably my failings are due...

This is totally FREE and it ROCKS! by
Paul King
Hi,
I've just got to share this with everyone.
It's totally free and a real life-changer! It's not every day that a guy who earns millions every year on the internet decides to tell anyone who's interested exactly how he does it.
One things for sure, this is going to upset a heck of a lot of so called "gurus" when they find out that their money spinning secrets are being exposed. This site...

Fuel level sender - how to reverse resistance? by
Peter
I finally got around to wiring LPG level sender into petrol gauge circuit.
It kinda works - when LPG is full, gauge shows 1/2, and on LPG empty gauge
shows 'Full'. Service manual says fuel level sender resistance is 0 when
full, and does not specify resistance when empty. Any ideas what can I do to
trick petrol gauge into showing the actual LPG level? Apparently I need to
reverse resistance...

Bulk tank at home? by
Dadio
Given that we do not have an LPG petrol station in the immediate area it
would be nice to have a bulk tank at home.
Does anyone have experience of fueling their vehicles from their own bulk
gas tank?
Is it a practical proposition?
Thanks

Conversion in Wales by
jips@freeuk.com
Hi,
I am thinking about getting my Renault Laguna II 1.8 converted. Does
anyone know where the nearest garage to convert my car would be.
I live just outside Swansea, and I use the car everyday, so they would
need to be able to lend me a courtesy car
Many Thanks

Disco - where to site vaporiser by
Dadio
I have taken the plunge and bought the bits to convert my (right hand drive)
1995 Disco 3.9 V8i to LPG but wonder what is the preferred location for the
Reducer / Vaporiser.
There is not a great deal of space under the bonnet and it looks as though
the area where the jack is normally stored may be a contender.
Someone suggested mounting it on a bracket attached to the suspension turret
which...

Petrol Prices by
Andrew
Does anyone know how prices get so high? Is it a tax increase? What are
the components of the price? How many litres in a barrel? How much for
refining? Transport? Retail profit? Tax? Is it all hiked by
percentages of the spot price of oil? Is the Chancellor delighted? Are
country people being disproportionally taxed more than urbs?

Hydrogen car by
Peter
I'm wondering if hydrogen can be used in CNG (compressed natural gas)
fueling systems? CNG systems store the gas in high-pressure tanks; hydrogen
can be stored under the same pressure as well.
If so, hydrogen could potentially be generated in each consumer's home via
electrolysis of water, with electricity coming from wind turbine & solar
cells mounted on the roof. And CNG fuel systems are...
