Just a thought as I need to change my lpg filter soon.... all engine problems being sorted of course..... but how do you 'shut off' the Gas?

So as when you undo a pipe, the stuff doesn't come rushing out the tank? There's doesn't seem to be any kind of shut-off valve :(

With petrol, I'm aware of the de-pressurising valve, and pulling out fuse 18 to turn the pump off. So is there a similar thing for LPG? :-/

This isn't just a question for JamesV6cdx (who fitted my kit  :y), as I'm wondering about all the different sorts and whether there's a common solution  :)
Vectra Elite Estate doing good post-Omega service but still not as nice to sit in.

One last Omega on the drive, one Corsa on the lawn...maybe they'll go to a good home before too long!

If the engine isn't running, the soleniod (on the tank, and at the vaporisor) won't be open, therefore no gass will come through.

Just unto and change the filter - simples  :y

BTW, PM recieved - will reply to all shortly  :y

Wonder what you do if the solenoid valve gets stuck though  ::)

Is there not a manual valve on the tank connection?
