Hi Chris
just read bout lpg install
I'm driving 2.2CD Auto X reg with Leonardo LPG sys.
Any chance you'd let me know how much have you pid for your sys and what's the make? Mine'spretty old and thinking of getting the new one :)

Can't remember what he charges for a 4 pot system but to give you an idea... I paid £650ish for my full kit, including tank, for a 6 pot. Take off at least £200 for the tank and it's £450ish for the front end kit (plus a few extras) so I would think a 4 pot kit could come in under £400 all in, especially if you spoke to Teilo and explained that it's an upgrade from a Leonardo controlled single point so you wouldn't need all of the extra's he throws in! :y :y :y

And how could I actually contact him? I've looked via OOF members nicknames, and couldn't find him. Please help :)
Pm sent. :-)

I had to lean mine off to prevent dropping to petrol at WOT.

That is what AGWW told me to do

Surely they didn't advise that! Leaning is the last thing you want... It's better to richen it if anything! If it leans out at WOT you run the risk of serious damage as the combustion is too hot :o :o :o

Agreed. A lean mixture is very bad news. If it can't keep up with demand, best to let it switch over the petrol rather than burn a valve or melt a piston.

Check that both Lambda sensors read a solid rich when "on it" otherwise you are on dodgy ground, especially if towing, as the engine will get WOT for longer periods.

No way of monitoring Lambdas for me I am afraid.

They said to me on WOT it runs rich anyway (not sure about that)

If it drops to petrol it then over pressures the system.

Might need a biological monitoring unit some time ;D

However 3 years running on gas - about 1800 miles towing, it doesn't seem to get hot either.

Tomorrow will tell when I whip off a head
