Mercedes 500 sel poor economy by
ben_weech@yahoo.com
Hi,
I have recently converted my 500 sel to lpg.. as the topic reads, im
suffering from poor economy when running on lpg. Ive got a 90 litre
tank, and am getting about 160-180 miles out of this. I only do short
journeys and light town driving though.

before the conversion, but it was nearer 250 miles, which still wasnt
great!

First time use of LPG pump by
Ian Hatten
Well after lurking around here for several months I have at long last taken
delivery of a new dualfuel Corsa. The first time I filled it the pump had
very little by way of instructions and it was only from what I had read on
the net that I knew how to fill the car. Question is that I understood that
the pump would "click off" when the tank was full but this pump just slowed
right down to a...

taxation rates by
Stu Dent
I'm writing a paper on automotive taxation and need some help - can anyone
point me at a URL where I can find the exact rate of duty on road fuel,
preferably all fuels, and even better would be something that included the
last couple of years rates too!
Many thanks for any help you can provide

Baldness and sagging rears by
Stewart Hargrave
I've just had some new tyres fitted to my old Volvo 740. The old front
tyres were badly worn on their outside edges to the point of 1½" of
bald tread on the edge. Over the past two or three years I have
replaced every front suspension bush and steering joint and had the
tracking checked several times. I'm tempted to have the camber and
castor checked, but as these are technically non-adjustable...

Insurance, scaremongering and the lpga. by
Badger
Hi all, I've got a bee in my bonnet at the moment about insurance of
converted vehicles and the "alleged" lies being spread via the lpga's
website.
(They have published a list claiming that all the companies on it will ONLY
insure you if you have LPGA certification, I personally know of 2 on that
list that do not require LPGA certification, having checked with them myself
this morning!)

This isn't good.. Mate of mine gets 110+ miles from £10 gas.
However, it stinks of gas when it's running - enough to give me a stinking

Setting power valve using lambda voltages by
DR.CLAYTON@TALK21.COM
The memory on my emmegas lambda ecu has been reset, as I had to
disconnect the battery to do some work on it (btw, still the old escort
at 170K). I've found someone who'll retune it, but he's on holiday for
a few weeks, so I'm going to replace the stepper with a manual valve to
keep me going on LPG for a few weeks, running open loop.
I have read on the forum how to set-up without an exhaust...
