someone had a formula for what size mixer to fit it a given size engine... anyone know what it was? or failing that, what sort of size would the assembled reckon suits a 2.8 V6 ford running open loop? it's a 10.5:1 compression engine, rated 150 BHP on petrol IIRC, revs to about 6000. Just replaced the mixer (brass pipe stubs which feed the gas in (2 off, small) were both cracked. dunno how...

Has anyone got any instructions on how to do it? I figure I really should as it has never been done in the 36k miles the car has been running on LPG, but of course normal garages won't touch it with a bargepole.

Can anyone give me a good guide to setting up my LPG system without recourse to a gas analyser? Is it possible to tune by ear like a carb petrol system? I've got some instructions here before (from Mr Shackles I think) but they all need an exhaust probe which I don't have access to and can't afford to buy. Could I jury rig something with a lambda sensor shoved up the pipe (it's a kit with...

Someone pointed me to this website the other day, and ever since I've been wondering about it's possible application to LPG (it's a self-build EFI controller). http://www.bgsoflex.com/megasquirt.html Last time I looked at LPG injection technology a few years ago it seemed to be in an embryonic stage and still problematic. Are there reliable LPG injectors on the market yet?

Please excuse my question, but Google's not helping with an answer! If you have a LPG installation with more than one tank, and assuming there's still only one filler on the vehicle and one vapouriser, how are they all linked up? -- QrizB

Im possibly about to buy a Fiat Punto 1.6 / 16valve with factory fit (so im told) lpg conversion 3 yrs old and done 115000 miles someone has told me after 100,000 miles that lpg can make valves prone to go... is this rubbish. any hints and tips apreciated, its got no service history, is there anyone i can pay to do a check on it?

Has anyone else notice something similar to the following: I have a 90 litre tank which during summer used to give me approx 280-320 miles on gas. Motorway driving mostly Now that the temperature has dropped I am getting much higher figures. I just got 380 miles out of a tankful. Whilst I expected a difference - thats lot more than what I was expecting.......

Hi My local Petrol station has been selling LPG at 35.9 per Litre for some time, this has just been upped to 37.9 per litre. What is the reason for this price hike, anyone know? Regards Philip

Hi all Folks who read alt.fan.landrover have been bored for weeks by my stupid questions about my Range Rover - so I've decided to bore somebody else instead! I need some advice on the blowback protector as fitted to my LPG V8 Range Rover On mine it is an alloy ring that sits between the air meter and the plenum. It has a hinged flap inside it which, in the event of a backfire, is pushed

I was wondering if using LPG shortens the life of standard exhausts on cars with the higher water content in the exhaust. The exhaust on my Audi has started blowing so I'm going to be replacing it very shortly and was wondering if it will be worth the extra expense of fitting a stainless system rather than fitting another mild steel system. Suggestions? --

I've just rebuilt my Mondeo after replacing a burnt exhaust valve :-( It now runs OK on petrol but is a little rough. On gas (single point injection system) it backfires! I suspect there is an air leak somewhere. 1. What's the best way to find an air-leak? 2. If the gas mixture is too lean, what causes the backfire? Cheers!

I've a focus 1.8 which has done about 18,000 miles on LPG, it did about 90,000 prior to conversion. I've just had to have a new throttle body fitted and need some valve work, both of which the Ford dealer says are due to running on gas. Any ideas whether this is true or not? Paul S

Hi, all. Friend has a "T" reg. Rangerover, 4.0 V8, it's the later "thor" style engine with the coil packs behind the manifold. It runs great, but it has an occasional backfiring problem. It's fitted with an AEB Leonardo closed-loop system, mixer right up against the throttle body and as short a gas feed hose from the vapouriser as possible, about 10". So far, it's had new spark plugs (NGK's,...

Preferably in the Chester/ North Wales region for LPG Conversion of my mother-in-laws Jeep Sahara 4 litre. Can anyone help/advise? Also I hear there can be insurance problems? Anyone shed any light on this? -- Ian Symonds Big Red '93 Defender 110 CSW

is there anyone in central scotland who repairs stargas systems? thanks

Hi All. I understand that one is supposed to drain the heavy ends from the system's vaporiser every now and then. I have a BRC AT90E vaporiser... anyone know what the procedure for this is? I have no instructions or datasheet. The engine is running roughly at idle and I thought I'd attack this first. It's a 2litre Golf GTI. runs fine on petrol. Also, for info, it's a Leo closed loop...

Hi I'm having the rear cross-member on my 1983 110 V8 replaced at great expense. I understand it is a good idea to empty the LPG tank before starting welding. Clearly I can run it until the engine stops, but is this enough - I imagine there will be some residue left in the tank. Any suggestions appreciated. Neil
