According to some info in the paper work for the frontera this is the lpg system installed,as previous owner was a bright spark,he has mislaid the certificate.
First question how can i get replacement,if not how do i go about getting 1
2nd question is ive driven it on lpg for 60 miles,the leds havnt gone down on gauge for useage,,stuck 20 ltrs in tonight and still the same,is that normal ;D
-
There are no certificates now. Check LPG register online. :y
-
I have checked but not showing on there :(

Was it DIY job? Either way if no paper certificate, needs to be re-certified and put on the register
-
Ask him where it was certified, then call them. They may be willing to shove on register, if they still have details on file.

Ive had that before, where its been parked up for a while with no battery, guessing the ECU needs reprogramming for the correct Contents Sender / Display.

Its got a stag ecu,how do i reset it. :y

If you have the Stag ECU you will need to pull on the left antler for 5 seconds (with the ignition on) ... then read the codes.
-
Why do you want to reset it?
-
I wouldn't do anything to reset it, esp given the Stags are a bit of a pain to calibrate.
How is the electronic gauge comparing with the mechanical gauge on the tank?
-
Thing is, the gauge calibration is stored in the same memory as the LPG mapping, so if that really has gone bad I'd expect it to be running like a bag of spanners on gas. More likely to be a problem with the gauge sensor or wiring, IMHO.
-
Surely if it has a Stag ecu it's a Stag system :-\ or have I missed summat...
-
Well thats the leaflet i found in the paper work,after some looking and searching it has a stag 4 ecu system ;D
Also it has the same fuel gauge that it shows for the stag lpg system.

Petrol gauge over 1/4 tank,put £15 in on way back from finmere tuesday night,put £15 lpg in wednesday night,going to force start it on lpg only for next few days to see if the lpg gauge does drop.

I noticed that, re-read a couple of times though.............. :D :D

Run out of lpg after 60ish miles,after putting £15 in wednesday night and gauge was still showing full,looks like this car is going to work out expensive getting it sorted out etc :(
-
As TheBoy said, look at the manual gauge on the tank valve. Is that moving with the fuel level and does it read sensible levels?
-
The mechanical gauge (on the tank) is the real gauge. It has a (usually cheap, nasty) potentiometer in it that feeds that reading back to the LPG ECU, which then drives the LED gauge.
So, if tank gauge reads rubbish, everything will.
If tank gauge is correct, then either the potentiometer is shagged, the wiring from mechanical gauage to ECU, or the ECU has either wrong gauge setting or not calibrated for gauge.

Cant read the gauge on gas tank as its slung underneath the car. :y
