Title: out of interest
Post by: Bob G on 29 March 2014, 20:08:07

Driving to Luton today and decided to try the LPG again!! never been 100% despite James tinkering with it. Today started off the same, running great then in came the misfire and jerking, switch back to petrol then back, spent a while doing this, then from the boot cam a loud and I mean loud pop, could feel it through car.  It then proceeded to run on LPG exactly as it should.  To that point around 60 miles it had used nearly 3/4 tank, from there on I finished my trip to Luton, then back to Gloucester and still have a bit left, which is what I think it should run like.

After the pop car was totally responsive on LPG, so what could it have been? is there PRV that might have been stuck, which might have prevented a full tank being taken on.

Could be the multivalve had stuck a bit  :-\

There is a PRV, but that vents to the gas tight box, and then to atmosphere.

Be interesting to see, once refuelled, if it remains functional, or if the valve is sticking.

Had the same problem a few years ago,  turned out to be an air lock not venting.
