Hey guys don't if you could help me but was driving along in the GFs AU Forte with a dual fuel conversion today and alll of a sudden it refused to turn over, had no power, misfired and stalled while running on lpg.
Each time I start it again, it will run smoothly for about 10 seconds, and then cough and rattle and stall itself as though it is starved of gas. I have a feeling its a fuel delivery problem with the gas. It works fine on petrol. The fact that it happened very quickly makes me feel like an electrical plug may have popped out loose or something? Has anyone had similar problems before? How did they fix it? Any help or advice would be much appreciated. Cheers Matt

YOU MAY HAVE LOW WATER LEVEL IN YOUR RADIATOR . check that and check the converter when it does it . if the convertor is icy and frozen . thats it .

Brilliant! It runs like a dream now! Not to sound to n00bish, but why does this happen? Does the coolant cause the LPG to be at the optimum temperature or something?

yeah, so the gas converter turns it from a liquid to a gas
that process makes the converter rather cold the coolant actually heats the converter to operating temperature
