My '95 4.0 Cherokee has an LPG conversion. There is a selector switch giving the following options 1-Petrol..2-LPG..3-Start using Petrol automatically switch to LPG shortly after starting. I've been advised selecting 3 is the best option. Cold starts do not seem to be a problem. However starting when engine is warm either switch position 1 or 3 is murder! The engine miss-fires and runs rough....

Hi, I hope we arn't all too tired of this one, couldn't find it in the FAQ I phoned my insurers, who made it very clear to me that if I had a conversion done, it would have to be certified by LPGA fitter (i.e. I would require a certificate). They told me that if the work was done and certified, no effect to my premium - if not, they wouldn't insure me. This is Direct Line.

I thought I had resolved the uneven idle problem on my '87 Volvo 740 with a new distributor cap. It lasted about ten minutes until the engine was fully warmed up. Over the past couple of weeks it seems to have become a little worse. Tickover on LPG has never been quite as smooth on LPG as it is on petrol, but now it is significantly worse than it used to be. Sitting at traffic lights is quite...

yes, that's true....but then again 1000 new vehicles produce the same amount of pollution as a single 1980s range rover. So converting one old range rover can have the same environmental benefit as converting 1000 ford focuses on powershift at a cost to the taxpayer of approximately £800 000! As a taxpayer, which would you prefer to fund - one old car or 1000 new cars? Although it's...

Hi There, Please Be Gentle As I Am A Total Novice When It Comes To Cars; I Have A Stargas Old Type Conversion Which Was Running Fine Until About A Month Ago. It Developed A Fault Whereby It Cut Out Under Braking At Lights And Also Cornering On Roundabouts Etc. But Would Run On Gas At Speed OK

With the onset of winter I have been reminded of the limitations of my heating system! (Pug 405) I wonder how much this is affected by the "bypass" effect of the vapouriser water flow and whether there would be anything to gain from controlling this flow. I was thinking along the lines of fitting one of the gas flow control valves used in closed loop systems into the water outlet line, with its...

I'm installing an LPG kit in an old Citroen AX 1100cc I need to join into the wiring where it is live when the ignition is switched on. This will be used to power the lpg controller/switch. Can anyone point me in the right direction for a good place to do this on this car. Thanks

I just came back from calais and i put a full tank of LPG. Has anyone had problems using the gas from france and their system. i knew that the gas in france was more butane rather than propane in england; when i questioned the fitters they said the system would adjust and accept the gas. however i have had problems in getting the system to accept the french gas, sometimes it's ok but then it...

Just out of curiosity, has anyone on this group received a grant for converting their vehicle to LPG? It might be interesting to see what vehicle it was, how old and how much the grant was ... Just to start things off I got absolutely nothing when I converted my 1996 Discovery and it isn't even excempt from London Congestion Charging. Regards Steve G

The welsh assembly have a remit to encourage the uptake of CNG in vehicles, particularly heavy goods vehicles. These are comments received from the welsh assembly regarding potential conversion of their own heavy vehicle fleet: 1. It is not economical to convert 2. the refuelling equipment is too expensive 3. the engines dont run well on CNG, and they would expect problems .....and the best one...

A quick question, if you don't mind! I'm thinking of getting my petrol camper converted to LPG. I know that it's possible to get LPG tanks that have a "vapour" take-off, in additional to the "liquid" one normally used for road vehicles. I would like to use such a tank, so I can feed my domestic services with it. Does anyone have one of these, or know whether I can get one in the UK?
