how do you 'turn off' LPG?
« on: 17 July 2009, 21:44:31 »

Just a thought as I need to change my lpg filter soon.... all engine problems being sorted of course..... but how do you 'shut off' the Gas?

So as when you undo a pipe, the stuff doesn't come rushing out the tank? There's doesn't seem to be any kind of shut-off valve :(

With petrol, I'm aware of the de-pressurising valve, and pulling out fuse 18 to turn the pump off. So is there a similar thing for LPG? :-/

This isn't just a question for JamesV6cdx (who fitted my kit  :y), as I'm wondering about all the different sorts and whether there's a common solution  :)

If the engine isn't running, the soleniod (on the tank, and at the vaporisor) won't be open, therefore no gass will come through.

Just unto and change the filter - simples  :y

BTW, PM recieved - will reply to all shortly  :y

Is there not a manual valve on the tank connection?
