LPG liquid-phase injectors/delivery by
Multiades@gmail.com
Hi all,
Just stumbled across this group while looking into converting an
engine to LPG. I'm very comfortable with the plumbing and tuning of
gasoline EFI systems, but I'd like to try my hand at LPG. Are there
commercially-available liquid-phase injectors and methods of delivery
(booster pump, etc)?
Just about everything I've seen so far relates to gas injection which
I like less because it...

Idling problems with gas by
rouhel.ahmed@googlemail.com
Hi all
I hope someone can help!!
I've got a Honda Accord (99) which i had converted to gas a year ago.
When I drive the car in petrol mode, its fine and never cuts off. But
when I drive in gas mode, its fine for a few days, but then the
engine
management light on the dash board lights up and the car starts
cutting off. This cycle continues all the time and I've been down to
the garage where I...

Honda Accord LPG problem by
timothyhill@talk21.com
Completely baffled and hope someone can shed some light on a very
frustrating issue.
I have a 2001 2.0L Honda Accord and had it professionally converted to
a Romano lpg system 12 months ago at 45000 miles (now on 65000 miles).
Pretty much from the start of the conversion the engine management
light came on, but it only comes on when driving on lpg. Have taken it
back to the LPG guy many times...

bulk tanks at home by
Tom Woods
Can anybody tell me about the rough costs and procedure for getting a
bulk tank at home?
roughly how much does LPG cost per litre when bought in bulk?, and can
you get a roughly accurate transfer gauge to use when decanting it?
(so i can share it with a mate and divvy up the cost more accurately)

Do they test MoT emissions on lpg or petrol? by
redwood
When the emissions are checked for the MoT test, on vehicles with lpg
conversions is it checked when running on petrol or gas? I thought it
was tested on what the vehicle was running on at the time it is
presented for the MoT but my B-in-Law was told it has to be tested on
petrol (and failed).

Hi, needs some advice about spare parts. by
Elder
I'm considering a Range Rover Vogue SE 3.9 EFi that has an LPG system
installed, but the switch over control has failed.
I've been told the system installed is a Lovato system but I can't find
too much info on them. Are spares for this system easy to get hold of,
or are they pretty much universal, with one maker supplying everyone
with switches, another supplying tanks, and then the brands...

lpg prices by
gm4jnw@gmail.com
I am starting to look around for an lpg car, probably an astra or
similar, but am wondering if I am doing the right thing. I have
followed the lpg prices and they seem to be creeping up above the 50%
less than petrol mark.
Before I jump in can anyone tell me if the UK government have made any
comments re the differential between petrol and lpg.
Must admit, taking mpg and differential and diesel...

Remapped ECU vs. LPG System by
Dav-G
Dear all,
I've had my original ECU remapped on my '02 Volvo V40 1.8i to improve
performance.
Now I've got an LPG system fitted (Zavoli Alisei-N multipoint sequential),
how do I ensure that the LPG system is also taking advantage of my remapped
settings in the original ECU?
Someone mentioned 'recalibrating the LPG system to the ECU' to do this.

Dav-G
Hi LPGers.
Does anyone have a factory-fitted dual-fuel LPG Volvo V40?
If so, can you tell me whatg the boot area looks like?
Even send me a photo of it?
I've had LPG fitted to mine, but have a dilema regarding what tank to fit.
As the spare wheel wellis very small, I can only fit a tiny doughnut tank
in

another additive? by
Mad Ad
Any thoughts on this?
http://www.arloff.myffi.biz/uk/
Cant imagine how its supposed to work, the blurb says its not a petrol
additive (but it goes in the tank, how can it not be) but a 'combustion
chamber conditioner' which, if anyone remembers the claims, acetone could
also be called as its supposed to help the fuel burn more efficiently?
As its a pellet its probably nothing to do with...

Volvo V40 Doughnut Tank by
Dav-G
Hi LPG People,
Can anyone tell me the dimentions (diameter & height) of the factory-fitted
LPG doughnut tank, fitted into the spare wheel well on a Volvo V40?
Preferably a 2002 model.
I've converted my V40 to LPG and currently have an 18 gallon cylinder tank
behind the rear seats. As this restricts the use of the loading bay area,
I'm thinking of altering it to a doughnut tank in the spare...

Gas Injection or Lamba setup by
RobB
Hi, I am changing from a carburetta to a fuel injected espace and
transfering the parts that are suitable from my old espace to the newer
model. I was wondering wether I should splash out an extra 2 or £300 and
go for gas injected lpg setup. Does anyone have any views as to wether it
is worth it and what are the advantages and disadvantages. I will probably
get the Vogas Sequential Gas...

Underslung tank espace by
RobB
Hi I am in the process of transfering my lpg setup from my old Espace mk1
to a newer series 3 model. I think I will have to replace the toroidal
tank because the identification stamp has corroded and much of it is now
unreadable including the date stamp. Can just make out the pressure test
and capacity.
I am wondering if it is still seen to be OK with cop11 regulations to have
a tank that has...
