Looking for someone who has a bit of experience with car LPG systems. Our car isn't starting or running on LPG after filling up the tank.
It has done this a few times in the past and we found it was happening when we filled up from a certain service station so stopped using it. Recently it has been happening a lot more, even after filling up from our normal service station. Just to clarify after filling up it doesn't want to start or run on LPG, after a few tries over a few days it will usually start (when the engine is cold in the morning is usually when it happens).
Once the initial start has happened on the full tank it will then start and run normally for the rest of the tank. I was planning on not filling the tank right up to see if it made a difference but haven't been able to get it to start on gas for the last few weeks.
I could take it into someone but as the tank is near expiry. I only plan on keeping the car for another 1-2yrs, and gas isn't as cheap as it once was. I haven't decided if I think it is worth potentially paying someone to fix it as well as getting the tank checked or if I just swap it back to all petrol by myself for the next 1-2yrs (car isn't worth that much)
Any help would be much appreciated.
edit. It is fine on petrol.
Sounds like it needs a service, if you can find an old taxi driver hanging around the taxi rank during the day, they might advise you of a cheap lpg repairer in your area, a lot of the old taxis were lpg.
I had an old falcon like that, it was dual fuel. It was temperamental to get it going.
