Waithing For The Aa

[morticiaskeeper]

Book the day off to finish the xmas shopping, start her up, blip the throttle to switch over to gas, wait for Mrs keeper to get in, reverse off drive STALL

 

Restart, no. Switch to petrol, restart, no. Check all leads under bonnet for the obvious, no. Try another restart, no.

 

Sound like no spark.

 

so instead of walking around Gloucester and maybe spending a while in Starbucks while she walks round Gloucester, I'm sat here waiting for the AA :angry:

still waiting?..... :angry:

Sorted it before they got here :(

 

Vapour lock on the petrol side, took the filler cap off and heard a hiss, so left it off and cranked until it started.

 

I tend to run the petrol tank very low, as I reversed up the drive, what I thought was a stall was the gas running out (the pressure guages on lpg tanks are crap).

 

Might have to keep a bit more petrol in the tank from now on - probably increase the spend to

Just because the petrol is in the tank, you don't have to use it!

Costs money to drag that petrol around the place though, And god forbid if you have a smash less petrol the better.

 

It is nice to be able to move the vehicle too. :huh:

:

I normally rely on the milage read out and cross check it with the LPG gauge, mind you my system has a early change over limit! or it should have? It's programmed to swap back to petrol when the gas gets low, but I normally hit the button the moment the engine starts to hesitate when you hit the throttle or it brings ups a fault code which drives the garage crazy when the check the codes :( you can hear the guy muttering under his breath....bloody LPG system cant tell whats a faults and whats not :huh: no pleasing some people :o

[morticiaskeeper]

Well, I thought it would be ok :huh:

 

Last tank did 209 miles, this one was on 185 when it died, must be the difference between motorways and commuting.

 

When I did go to fill up, I noticed a small problem (ok, leak) with the nozzle adaptor seal, so, considering what happened Sunday, ended up with just 18 litres.

 

Asked a customer of mine today for another adaptor -
