have just driven up to nottingham tonight and noticed that the car is running about 5 degrees cooler than normal, is this normal? (82 as opposed to 87)

My only thinking was that the vapouriser is acting as a heat exchanger, any ideas

I doubt it's a cause for concern - is the vaporisor red hot to touch?

hot yes, but not so hot that you can't get you hand within a couple of CM's of it
all the pipework is nice and hot as well

Any chance of a schematic of the flow?

Pictures worth 1000 word in this.

Also where is the temperature sender?

flow from coolant bridge to vapouriser, (inlet feed)

Flow from vapouriser to HBV (outlet feed)

Temp sender in the usual place on the bridge

Odd. So it is in series, whereas mine in in parallel from in front of HBV to the return pipe into the engine

Did you disturb the wire?

got the manifold back from welding this week, that is now all built up and the wiring has been modded as per the instructions
was going to put the tank in, got it all fitted up and then realise I was missing the fitting kit for the boot....one phone call sorted that out, the tank had come direct and the supplier overlooked this, I should have one here for mid week, the guy has been spot on with queries and stuff like this
still got a way to go, still trying to find a place to hide the ECU its not a small item and with space at a premium this will be my biggest headache.

What wiring mods have been done?

Only actual mod I had to do was the RPM feed, everything else was plugged

if you have a look at this PDF there is a mod that is required on the injection loom

http://www.ac.com.pl/autogaz/programy/pliki/Instruction%20of%20Stag-200,%20Stag- 300%20controller.pdf

the negative on the injection loom needs to be sliced and capped, the LPG loom has a set of connectors, one goes on the injector and the other connects to the old injector loom.

Just out of curiosity Martin were did you pick the RPM signal from?

I would do it in series. Is that wrong?
