Hi, Have just bought a car with a tartarini system already fitted. How do I tell if it's open or closed loop, and are there any instructions I need for using it (as I didn't get any with the car). I can find the control unit and mixer in the engine compartment, and there is a switch in the centre console to swap fuels and also LEDs to indicate fuel mode and LPG level. Cheers.

I don't know who Neil Jones is, but to whom it may concern I had the same problem with admiral a few years ago When I had to claim with Admiral a couple of years ago it was the best and most efficient service I have ever had from an insurance company. -- Remove Xs to reply direct

Just come back from a weekend in Ireland where I soon realised that the LPG pumps had a different fitting to the UK, but not like the "flat plate" design I understand is used in France. The guy in the garage knew about the problem but didn't have an adaptor. Luckily petrol is cheaper over there so I wasn't too bothered for a weekend, but I do travel to Ireland regularly so I need to sort it...

Surely the valve seat prob is the same as unleaded fuel. If you have a CAT does the car have to have a lambda sensor? What is lambda sensor? shouldn't be a valve seat problem on...

Is there a 'standard' amount to advance the ignition for lpg? I use petrol usually only to start up then switch to gas. Thanks Dave

Anyway is there any mods/improvements i can do the the engine in its stripped down state to make it more suited to LPG conversion it will have. the engine is a V8 3.5 efi cheers Jinx

Has anybody heard of a misfire problem with a Discovery S2 V8 with the ETAGAS system? I have heard that the vapouriser has been modified. Can anyone tell me how to identify an older vaporiser?

Hi Following my recent post on my Range Rover V8 system switching from LPG to petrol and back by itself - this has now been cured as a result of a different problem surfacing. The ignition amplifier unit attached to the dizzy had been on the way out and finally died - I renewed that plus the coil and - hay presto! The LPG control unit was back to normal - it transpires that the LPG system...

Does anyone know where I can get a mixer for that engine? or Has someone a mixer laying around?? Michael from The Netherlands, the lpg country

at present we own a jeep converted to lpg and are very happy with it, now I am thinking of buying a semi classic car with a big engine (Mercedes sec) I know that these cars can have valve problems after 70,000 miles, would a conversion add to any possible problems?

Looking for a cheap one to use every day (I have another car which is too much of a guzzler for commuting). Not an off-road thing or anything like that, something that will still get over 25MPG on gas to minimise my fuel bills. Cheers. -- Paul Morgan Replace nospam with paul_morga to reply via e-mail

GAS mixer or injection is not a good idea in same way that petrol vapour carbs are not a good idea except for good idling. Until the LPG retrofit industry moves away from the

Hi. I want to convert my Audi to LPG. Has anyone a suggestion, such as Induction or Sequestial. thanks

Hi all, I've only just found this NG so please excuse me if this has been done to death in the past. My LED based LPG fuel indicator is about as much use as a chocolate fire guard. The first green light goes out after just 6 miles or so and the red one comes on at about 100 miles - even though there is another 100 miles worth of gas left in the tank. My question is; has anyone come up with a...

The set up: 1987 Range Rover 3.5 efi with AEB Leonardo controller and OMVL vapouriser. The situation: the controller has been reporting an error since I fitted the kit a week ago. Took me a while to realise it was an error as I did not know that the slow blinking of the lpg light meant there was an error. So I connected up the laptop and it seemed to be saying that the lambda sensor was...
