Forum: Alternatives to Petrol

I have just got the oportunity to purchase a 3.9 engine with a complete multipoint LPG system, make unknown at this point. My intention is to rebuild this engine and the install it in my 110. Obviousy i will need the AFM, loom and ECU as well as the engine, can you think of anything else i need to...

as im sure some of you know petrol tractors tend to run "tvo" this is essensialy a parrafin and petrol mix. 2.25 petrols are quite happy to run on the mix as the fuel passes near the exhaust manifold creating a hot spot which warms the fuel before it goes into the engine. i run a 90% parrafin and...

Sorry for another bone thread, i have a 90 litre tank in my LSE. The lights run from full to empty give about 50 litres. Am i better running it till it gets empty, and the filling it up and monitoring the range to ignore the guage completely and base it on miles?!?

sorry guys-I'm not a land rover owner but a couple of web searches relating to lpg pointed me in this direction and i read some threads that sounded well informed (if it helps I've got some good friends who are seriously into land rovers (but none of them lpg)- so here goes: I just want to know...

Hi My Disco fails to start, I now have the time to look it over It turns over but no life, sometimes starts to catch but nothing On the top of my list are Fuel Pump

Hi, have looked at most of the threads, i am looking for an lpg fitters in the leicestershire / warwickshire area. would rather go to one on recomendation than blind ring , turn up and end up with a crap system, any help would be great... converting 4.6 p38....many thanks.

I have a 3.9 EFI disco with a sequential Motogaz convertion wired up to two 36 litre torpedo tanks in the sills. Installed in 2008. Starts on the button, ticks over nicely on petrol, lpg gauge flashes (to indicate its not running on gas) warms up, switches to Lpg, runs fine, smooth, constant...

Hello! Right been silly again and I managed to get the vaporizer a bit damp (I think) after going through a slightly deep puddle. It wasn't immeresed but could have had a good dousing from the viscous fan I suppose. I left the engine running for a while but the revs were high for quite some time,...

1996 V8i OMVL Lpg system. When stopping, or rather when stopped eg traffic lights etc, and running on lpg after a few seconds a doof, doof, doof noise starts. Its not a banging and it gets quite loud. This happens if its in Drive (foot on brake). If it gets put in Neutral or Park then revs go up...

:cool:hi all iv got a 96 disco xs 3.9 with landi renzo lpg single point system,and lots of problems,all relating to a poor service history (befour i got her)all the usual faults needs new everything ignition wise,but the one thing im not sure about is that there is oil in the vaporizer,looking at...

On Saturday, did a lot of motorway work. Ran the gas completely out and it took 80 litres to refill, 227 miles giving about 13 to the gallon. On the same run, same driving conditions I managed 20mpg on petrol. Question should I be getting such a big difference, if not any clues to the problem, it's...

Hi all, This evening I was chatting with my Dad about all things Landie and the subject of LPG came up. Now, please bear in mind I know nothing about this, is it possible to convert a 1.8i petrol Freelander to run on gas?; Is it worth it?; Roughly how much will it cost?; Where does the second...

Hi My friend has just bought a 4.6 RR (2000). Its got 80k miles on the clock and has been very well maintained. I suggested doing an lpg conversion but the local LR "man" said it wasnt a good engine to convert?:confused: Thoughts? Thanks

Slightly theoretical question, as I usually start with petrol and switch when warm. On the odd occasion when I start in LPG and it the engine's cold, I've been using the choke, but switching to petrol ASAP until warm. So here's the question. Is a choke necessary if starting in LPG? I know the...

I know heaters are the subject of the month what with the cold snap but isn't LPG just the most efficient engine coolant? That vaporiser really does pull some heat out when you are starting from cold. I'm probably being too stingy trying to start from cold on gas but unless it is really cold and...

Hi, I've just bought a P reg V8 lpg disco. The last owner fitted a new radiator recently and I think this has affected its changeover (the initial one) It tends to cut out unless I keep it on petrol until I watch the temp gauge get to where I think it should be then flick the switch. Even...

This is something different but well worth reading. It was written by our learned friend in Stoke and we think is of interest to any car or bike owner. Well…………! In The Beginning there was Carbon and Hydrogen. These got together in accordance with rules forged in the Big Bang (yes, really!) to...

Hi Guys I have an OMVL LPG/Petrol (carb type) change over switch marked with both 'Cod. AEB752i REG' and 'TIPO AEB7651'. Can anyone supply me with information on this unit, instalation instuctions would be great. I want to fit a tank level sensor (OMVL multivalve) Any idea which type i need?...
