My 260 is for sale

[MichaelG]

I used to have an LPG system on a Ford Scorpio about 10 years ago.

We had a few problems where it would cut out all of a sudden after driving on LPG, especially in the cold.

It was a long time ago, so the systems may have changed considerably. Get ready for a very non-technical description:

it turned out the problem was that not enough hot water reached the higher parts of the lpg engine bits, the bit that got very cold, it was easy and cheap to fix.

might be worth a look?

I had the same problem with an old Triumph Herald I had which was gas converted (25 years ago though). If I let the coolant run low it would allow the regulator to freeze cutting off the gas. After it did this to me a couple of times I made sure I always had petrol in it !!!!

talk to Bernard LPG a site member and im sure he could advise you. I beleive he converted his own V8 260 to LPG

Thanks for all the suggestions guys but im not really looking to get the LPG fixed now.

I have priced the car as if it was petrol only and am giving the next owner the opertunity to look to get fixed if they wish to try and save something on running costs.

I have already spent far too much money on this car on parts, upgrades etc. Also, the wife would kill me if i spent any more cash on it. especially as i am selling to cut general household outgoings. I dont feel i would recover the money spent getting it fixed.
