Astra LPG Stalling by

My dad's got an Omega 1.8 - not the same car or engine I know - but
prone
to
stalling. The idle control valve gets gummed up and sticks. A common
problem
on Vauxhalls.

Discovery S2 V8 by
Gareth Roberts
Any one else here got a V8 Disco S2 on gas? If so, how well does it run on
petrol? Mine runs great on Gas, But runs very badly on petrol. The idle is
on petrol is very lumpy, and it misfires and backfires slightly into the
airbox when I try to drive on petrol. If I drive on petrol for a while, it
gets better, but never runs as well as it does on gas. Any ideas? The system
is a Tartarini Etagas...

GLOBAL FUEL CRISIS by
Global Fuel Crisis - Energy Oil Gas Power Cut
GLOBAL FUEL CRISIS:
The greatest crisis that civilisation has ever faced is also one of
the best-kept secrets of our time. The American, British, Russian, and
various European governments, have consistently downplayed, concealed
and lied about the global fuel crisis.
Put simply, it is now almost impossible to produce oil and gas at a
rate that can meet the enormous and growing demands of major...

Problems problems problems by
Oliver Keating
Well, I think my lpg system is going to pot. Flat spots all over the torque
curve, engine stalls (frequently), noticeably smoother and stronger on
petrol.
This has been slowly coming on, and the conversion is over 40,000 miles old
now.
Problem is, I have a Tartarini kit, and almost noone seems to have the
software for it! GRR. So who in the south east/oxfordshire/west sussex can
sort me out?

sudden increase in economy in 4-litre straight 6 by
Robert & Shelley
Hi there,
Thanks to all the contributors of this group. I've enjoyed reading up over
the months & learning LPG stuff.
I'm in Australia, & drive a '98 4-litre straight 6 dual fuel "EL" Ford
Falcon wagon (estate).
Ford sell a dedicated lpg Falcon as well as dual fuel www.ford.com.au
although those weren't available in '98, so mine is an aftermarket
conversion.

Idling by
David French
I've noticed the Range Rover (4.6) is idling a bit lumpy on gas since the
weather went cold. The revs wander up and down between about 600 and 900
rpm. It doesn't seem to do this on petrol. It's also fine when it's not
idling. Is this some vapourisation thing? It's an AG Autogas Systems
conversion with 8 separate injectors.
David.

Condensation! by
David French
Hi all,
My tank is installed in the spare wheel well of my Range Rover. Nice and
unobtrusive (apart from the huge spare wheel which now takes up most of the
boot :)
Opened it up over the weekend for the first time in several weeks and was
quite suprised to find it all dripping in water. Not at all surprising, now
I think about it, given there's around 60 litres of slowly expanding
liquefied...

Converted to LPG by complete idiots 2 years ago. After a lot of messing

Astra LPG Stalling by
Philip
Hi
My Astra 1.6 LPG (year old, converted by Vauxhall from new) has starting
giving problems. It appears not to want to tick over all the time and has
stalled on a few occasions now, both from cold and when hot.
The situation is always the same, put my foot down on the clutch to stop or
in neutral, the revs quickly drop, and rather than slow as they approach the
950 mark on the rev counter (as...

Possible to make tartarini Tec97 start on gas? by
Paul Morgan
As with most LPG systems mine starts on petrol then switches to gas.
It's configured to do this on deceleration, i.e. once you start it will
stay on petrol until the accelerator is pressed then released.
The problem is that the changeover doesn't seem to be configured quite
right - if you just blip the gas lightly there's a very short time that
the engine appears to get no fuel and it will...

Citroen AX 1100 now starts on LPG. by
David Cawkwell
I posted a few weeks ago about not being able to start from cold on my
citroen AX.
To try and fix a problem on acceleration when running on petrol I cleaned
the carb out.
The citroen now starts on LPG fine?? The only thing apart from clean the
carb was put a little gasket paste
between the carb and manifold. But there was already plenty there when I
removed it.
