Hmm somethings not right there! Mine does not need petrol to run at all. Does yours have a swich inside the car where you flick from petrol to gas? Are you sure its on gas?

I thought that they fired up on Petrol but automatically switched to Gas once started up? :huh:
Some cheap systems you have to manually switch but the descent ones do it for you?

I can fire up on either really. Im supposed to flick to petrol to start but i find i can start on gas if i rev it to 2k which is when the feed kicks in. But yes it starts better on petrol.

Hi,

Still no joy, appaerntly it needs a complete fuel shut off valve, so they have ordered on.

BTW, How can I get the cars stance right now that theres and extra ^0k in the boot it squats at the back. Its got nearly new 16v springs on, do do you reacon 8v springs with the extra 35mm will help, or get some of those towing spring spacers from Halfords?

Where did you get an LPG conversion for ?500 ?
Is it just someone you know or did you already have the parts and they just set it up?

I dont have the stance problem cos ive got coilovers. Its one way to solve it but probably not the cheapest.
