Robwig is having nothing but trouble with his car on LPG.
It is running brilliant on Petrol, so he again has taken the car back to this so called "LPG Gas Fitter" for him to correct the car.
Yesterday Rob was told his Thermostat was stuck shut, and yet running on petrol the temperature was fine and never boiled up etc....
Today Rob has being told his Cylinder Head or a Cylinder is cracked....
I think this Knobhead is making things up as he goes along which to be fair is costing Rob a small fortune.

Can oneone recommend a good LPG Gas Fitter around the Wigan area, so he can get a second opinion or even get his car set up properly?

Cheers
Daz

Noooo not the Danny outfit

Sorry it is up to you!

Lets start with the basics.

How is the evaporator plumbed in?

[Martin_1962]

Air getting in or airlocks - some plumbing he has added is too high

[Darth Loo-knee]

The honest answer to your first question is I dont know where it is plumbed into... Although James mentioned last night about LPG being plumbed into the coolant bridge and HBV but I have seen no extra piping going to the HBV at all :-?

Rob also mentioned yesterday that this LPG Fitter said there was some air bubbles coming up inside this Reservoir...

But I think this fitter has had enough time and chances to fix this car for him if at he can, which seems unlikely to me.

Don't think it is the same LPG Fitter that Danny had as Zok asked the same question a few weeks ago.

Just could do with a known good recommened fitter so Rob can get a second opinion, if then a problem is found with the instalation surely Rob could get some of his money back and perhaps his car sorted.

[Martin_1962]

Air bubbles - definately air and not gas?

Sounds like a leak in the plumbing alterations.

Sorry don't know of any decent installers up there.

Rob has just phoned me he has just picked up his cr from the LPG Fitters.
His car is now not running well on either Petrol or Gas.......... and yet when he took it in it was running well on Petrol but not gas.

Poor bloke I bet he is ready to torch this car

Rob has had brand new Dispack and Leads fitted on Tuesday this week. Brand new plugs were fitted a couple of weeks ago. This made no difference to the crap running on Gas. The car was running how it should on Petrol though. :-?

I might be up that way in a couple of weeks time to have a look if it's still playing up!

Rob, try asking for someone local who's been recommended on http://www.lpgforum.co.uk

[Lazydocker]

I still think it sounds like it's not plumbed correctly

[Darth Loo-knee]

Ok how is the bloody thing supposed to be plumbed in then?

Rob says there is a couple of pipes going towards the back of the engine.... but cant see where too.

[Lazydocker]

Right... Let's back up a step.

He's just changed the stat and it now runs badly on both petrol and LPG? They guy has had the plenum off so there's probably now an air leak causing the petrol running issues. My guess is he's pinched one of the plenum-inlet o rings as that's what I did when I had the same problem.

Coolant to the vap should go from the coolant bridge, through the vaporiser and then back into the Coolant bridge side of the HBV. That ensures constant, high flow of hot coolant.

Could it be that its getting to much or to little gas?  Was just a thought.   But a cracked cylinder head would cause white exhaust smoke.

Air leak... I'm sure this is similar to the codes I got when I had the same problems and it was just an air leak
