yes it was same pump
is your sytem a new type ie sgi cos from all info i have read new type was supposed to be very close to petrol so if 20% on new type how bad was the old system

Ok thats a bit odd its that different.....sometimes i can keep forcing mine to run on lpg when its empty....its keeps switching back to petrol pretty quick....and i get 37/38L in the tank....other times i dont bother to keep switching it and ive got 39L in it.....

5L difference is a bit puzzling  :-/ filling up at the same pump.....unless the float switch is a bit sticky  :-/

Really? I stand corrected...

Though I was thinking that by 'runs bettter' he was referring to power available and power delivery...

just had my car converted and so far so good but just wanted to know from someone who has converted how does the pump know when to stop putting gas in I have a 59 litre tank and it stops at 45 i know they are supposed to have a certain amount of space what is the %.
Also my car averaged about 27 mpg now its 21 i thought the new lpg systems where more or less the same as petrol??

Hi There

Had my 2.5 V6 converted two years ago. Pump stops automatically when filling. It based on pressure. You will here a slight "clunk" and the rate of fill will slow down. You can keep going until the pressure equalise and it stops altogether but this wears out the filling pump. Amount of fill depends on pressure in garage tank.

Hope this helps
