LPG lights
« on: 06 March 2013, 16:54:45 »
After James V6 eetc did my LPG it runs sweet but the level lights played up, with minimum in tank showed 4 green, today filled up and for the first time it took 57 litres, so all James work was good, BUT now only 2 lights meaning its 1/4 full.  Isnt it all such fun ;D ;D ;D

It is poss that you have a faulty float switch in the tank, which means that you will have to run it untill empty and remove the float assy and check its all intact, as far as i remember the float is made of cork?? but i am having doubts about that now. Some one with more knowhow will be along soon.

Did he change the fuel level sender type, in the software?

If so, repeatedly slap him ;D

Certainly sounds like its configured wrong, but it could be other faults, so see what he says :)

If he didn't misconfigure it, slap him anyway :P

It it's reading back-to-front then it's most likely misconfigured.

In the "gas tight box" there should be the "proper" gauge  .. I believe that feeds the lights electronically ?? What is that gauge doing in terms of accuracy ?? .. if that's wrong the lights can never be right - at least that's how it seems to work on my BRC system !!  :)

When the car first came over, it would hardly run on gas at all, the engine looked like it wanted to jump out of the engine bay.

After hooking it up to the software (RIS-N) we did a factory reset, set it all up from scratch, and re-calibrated, runs fine on gas now :)

My guess is that the wrong level sensor is selected. Easily corrected, pop in when I'm next home and I'll do it FOC obviously.

Entwood makes a good point, I am suspicious of your multivalve, don't forget even from physically empty, you can't fill it anywhere near 80% capacity...
