BlankHi, I have a STAko 110ltre tank & valve which measures 980x400 , i need a 90 or 100ltre that measures thats max of 930x400 ! Its about 12 months old & was only used for a few months & has 1/4 of LPG still inside. cheers. --

couple of questions for the installers among us... 1) are there closed loop controllers which reliably self-learn, and/or don't need plugging into a laptop or somesuch to set 'em initially? I have access to a crypton machine. 2) if so, what sort of money am I looking at for a controller, stepper motor flow adjuster and anything else needed to retro fit such an animal to my open-loop system?

Hmmm. I've become slightly disillusioned with the idea of running on lpg since reading some of the threads in this newsgroup. There sounds to be more to it than meets the eye! I bought a Mondeo 1.8 Zetec last November which already had a professionally fitted lpg system. I was delighted with the difference in my weekly fuel bill (between £7-10) compared to about £30 that I was paying for my...

Hi all, I am thinking of having our Zafira 1.8 converted but I was wondering what happens to the petrol injectors when running on LPG. Do the conversion kits totally cut off their operation or is it just the petrol supply via the pump that is cut and the injectors still go through the actions. I assume the injectors still open and close in many cases with the exception of perhaps the OE...

I have heard that LPG is a mixture of gases, but is 90% propane. I have also heard that, although illegal, it is possible to fill up LPG vehicles from either propane bottles or domestic LPG tanks. I understand it is necessary to use the "liquid gas", i.e.. taken from the bottom of the propane bottle rather than the "gas gas" at the top of the bottle. Does anyone know - is this possible - just...

I have a large screw on the Y piece on the pipes running from the vapouriser, which I take it controls gas flow, the further open it is, the more power but lower economy, and as it is closed down, the economy improves, but power drops? What is the accepted wisdom when running LPG setups as regards fuel? Can you run on on LPG all the time, or is it advisable to run on petrol...

I have an OMVL millennium system on my old BMW 525. it suddenly changed it's fuel usage. I need to connect a laptop to the ECU to set it up does any one have the circuit diagram for the data cable .I have been told it is a rebadged Leonardo system also is the software on any download site that you know? Thanks , Brian

In recent discussion on Mondeo LPG Stewart Hargrave wrote: Most lpg systems start on petrol by default, but in fact the only reason this needs to be done is to keep the petrol system working properly. The are positive advantages to starting on lpg - in a cold engine, petrol is being chucked into it in large amounts, so that enough of it will evaporate to ignite. Lpg doesn't need this,...

we have a jeep grand Cherokee which is backfiring often and blowing the air box lid off, recently the cat has broke I suspect it could be the back firing any ideas appreciated thankyou

I will soon need a new exhaust on my Disco II V8 running LPG. I have been told that I do not need a Cat which will be a much cheaper option for a full system particularly as I wanted to a get a Stainless steel system. Can somebody please confirm if this is true.

I'm just about to convert a '93 XM 16v and have some queries. I've had 2 1.8 Xantias running on a Landi Renzo LCS - 8v (crap) & 16v (great for 70,000m then started to eat MAP sensors). Last car was a 1.8 16v BiFuel Factory Necam system - what a let down! 2-4mpg less than the LCS and a teacup for a tank!!! I now have the choice of an OMVL Dream 21N or straightforward LCS type (with mixer) Working...

I have a Tartarini Tec97 setup with 100L tank which displays the level via 5 LEDs which is combined with the changeover switch. The level guide is OK - I generally go by the trip meter but it gives a...

Hi all... First post on this group - so please be gentle! ;o) We recently purchased a '97 Disco, converted some time ago to LPG with 80 ltr tanks replacing the standard pet tank and a smaller pet tank in the wing. Don't know what LPG system it is (still a newbie to this) and don't know when, or by whom, the system was fitted by - although we do have a sheet of

Any installers successfully done a Kia Sedona 2.5V6? I have one which has a flat spot when just going on to the throttle from idle. Makes it a pain when pulling out of junctions etc. Tried a couple of regs, different mixer size/tuning variations and its always there. Does anyone know of any vehicle specific problems which may be causing this? I cant enrich the mixture at this point as Kia...

Help! agreed earlier today to have a look at a friend of a friends 1989 Merc. (not sure of model), fitted with mechanical fuel injection and a Landi open loop gas system. Problem is petrol not switching off when switched to gas, so attemts to run on both fuels and stops. Thought it would be a simple electrical or mechanical fault involving a petrol solenoid valve, but now, having done a little...
