Moving bits meeting stationery bits they shouldn't, or not that bad?

AFAICT, not driver error. LPG related. The dash warnings were on the LPG switch, and a lot of bleeping going on.

Got home on petrol. I know, a mortal sin.

Oh, not a "proper" failure then. ;)

Struggling to think what the bang was all about, then.  :-\

Wonder if the diaphragm in the regulator went "pop" .. it's about the only moving part I can think of, pressure would drop instantly so giving the impression of no gas, so bleeping ......

but pure guesswork I admit ....

I guess, look for obvious. If nothing then plug it in and read the codes. I wonder if it related to the very feint whiff of gas we can't track down :-\

Might be able to swing past on Sunday on the way home from Basingrad but doubtful :-\

Every time TB mentioned he could smell Gas, I never could. Just hot pipes, or a generally hot engine. :-\
