    Hi Everyone,

    Really good news! I have managed to fix my LPG!

    I spend Saturday morning reading up on how LPG systems work and came to the conclusion that the engine was definitly being starved of fuel. I changed the LPG filter as planned, located the LPG reducer and with half a turn of a screw (to increase the LPG gas pressure) it was all sorted. Now LPG is running on a par with Petrol.

    I am releaved and also a bit embarassed that thats all it took. Now i cant decise what to do. Do i keep it or sell it?

    Regards

    Graham

    Great news Graham - well done.

    Perhaps keep, at least for a while and enjoy the fruits of your labour.

    We will all say keep it!

    Sounds like a good one you have got, I would suggest getting a diesel shed if you have lots of miles to do, I was going to sell my diesel to make way for the V8, but now I am keeping both as the ZT is insured very reasonably on a classic car policy.

    They don't make em like this anymore so it is worth hanging on to it before we all get banned for altering the alignment of Jupiter or some such nonsense!

    Well done for sorting it yourself must be a sign on the wall.

    Best thing to do is keep it:-
    1. Don't let your new found knowledge go to waste
    2. With LPG working now running cost will be less
    3. When will you ever own a car like this again?
    You know it makes sense

    Have to agree - if you can keep it!

    Keep it, at least until you've had a good chance to try it and decide.
