Cold engine problem by Peter
Hi all, I have 1998 Isuzu Trooper 3.5L V6 which has been converted to run on LPG. All was fine until a couple of months ago it began exhibiting strange problem when running on petrol (LPG was/is fine) - when engine is cold it would stutter/hesitate at around 1800RPMs under load. On a couple of occasions it even stalled, and once I got severe misfire when trying to floor it thru 2K mark....

refilling from gas bottle by Smokeyone
Is anyone doing this safely. No complications, no pump, just a straight forward adapter. I assume turn the propane bottle upside down and connect to the vehicle and enough gas would transfer to get you to a garage. This would solve several problems for me at a push. If anyone is doing this where did they get the adapter bits please. Smokeyone

high speed misfire by Smokeyone
Hello Have just purchased a 93 range rover with lpg. Runs fine on petrol but at 70mph tends to misfire. All the leads/connections are okay. Has Bosch plugs, should I start by changing to NGK and probably a new set of leads. Thanks Smokeyone

Swapping kit from one car to another (same model, different engine) by Paul Morgan
Hi all, I have a 1993 Audi 80 2.0 which has served me well over the last 20,000 miles or so. Only issue I have is that it's a bit underpowered, really needs a bit more oomph to pull the car's weight. Also the gearing is too low for my liking as well (probably to compensate for the lack of power) meaning it sits around 3400 RPM at 70. The car has a Tartarini Tec97 closed-loop LPG system with...

LPG in Spain? by FNF
Will anyone tell me if and where I can fill up with LPG while driving through Spain? Or in Gibraltar? Or North Africa? I'm talking about LPG in bulk from filling stations, not propane or butane gas in bottles. I've not found any difficulty in topping up with LPG in France, but once over the border into Spain there doesn't seem to be the same availability. Am I missing something? Is LPG called...

How Do I Transfer LPG From One Bulk Tank To Another? by ndavey@hemscott.net
Hi all. Hope this post is OK. It's not directly related to LPG use in cars, but there seem to be many knowledgeable people here who could advise me on an idea I have. At the moment I have one bulk LPG tank, and would like to install a second in a different location. However, the site for the second tank isn't accessible to road vehicles (or, indeed, any large vehicles) so can't be filled...

anti-BLEVE system patented! by athol
I was reading a magazine the other day, and found an interesting article about an anti-BLEVE system for LPG tanks... It seems that the inventor has used the flow of vapour out of the pressure relief valve to power a pump that sprays liquid upwards inside the tank to help cool the top section of the tank shell to prevent the upper portion of the tank from weakening from heat and failing. It has...

People that are clever with websites... by Stewart Hargrave
I was reading the other day that the LPGA is persuading more and more insurance companies not to insure cars that have been converted by people other than LPGA members. This seems to be legislation by the back door, and has all sorts of nasty implications about price fixing, cartels, monopolies, etc... (what's next - no insurance if brake pads are changed other than by approved fitters?) I'd be...
