Kaput LPG system
« on: 20 November 2015, 16:40:16 »
I've spent the afternoon tinkering with my LPG system that suddenly stopped working a couple of days ago.  ::)  and I can't see whats wrong with it.  :-\

All the signs are that it's run out of gas, but I've got a full tank as I filled up shortly after it stopped working thinking I had an empty tank.  ::)

It runs fine on petrol and from cold will attempt to switch to gas but if driving will beep angrily at me and go straight back to petrol.  If ticking over it will simply stall.  :-\  All the pipework and wiring looks fine and I can hear a click from the general area of the vapourisor just as it attempts to switch.  :(

Any ideas?  :-\  TIA!  :y

Yes mines the Prins VSI and has the same switch as in the photos. What I really meant is, given that it's not genuine Prins software is it worth a punt?  :-\

The other thing that has occurred to me today is that the filter hasn't been changed for ages so that might be clogged, but would that cause a sudden shut down?  :-\

Worth a punt? How much are you willing to lose? Without diagnostics you are urinating in a strong breeze until you find the fault ;)

Unlikely to be filter..l mines done over 57k on LPG now without a filter change :-[ ::)
