Ive got duel fuel in my 2nd gen, just before i switched it over to gas and then it just start dropping in revs and cut out.
I got it going on petrol and got it home, car off I opended the bonnet but had the ignition on and switched to lpg.
From the relay near the convertor for the gas it just keept making a cliking noise, like it was flicking over but again and again and again.
So I take it the relays stuffed yes? Where can I find a selection of LPG part goodies?

Do you have two hoses going between the gas converter (round thing in the engine bay about 15Cm by 8Cm) and a couple of relays/solenoids

Yeah, one hose goes off the converter to the throttle body, I guess the other one comes from the tank.
And yes theirs a few relays around the converter aswell, when the car was working fine, id flick to gas and their would be one click noise coming from the relay.
Now when I flick to gas the clicking noise keeps repeating.

Theirs the two hoses i mentioned before, and then theirs another small copper pipe thats covered in plastic that goes to one relay (im pretty sure its this relay making the constant clicking nose)
Their might be another relay attached to the side but its really dark and hard to see right now.

Bugger, I was hoping you had a Landi Hartog system but it sounds more like an Impco or the like.
The LH system has a quick fix but the others dont.
Sounds like you have a dead fuel solenoid, should be around $100 or so to fix.
I'll assume you have gas in the tank etc.
The only other thing might be a bad leak and the tank has shut itself off (unlikely), simple fix too, but must be done by a pro.
Take her to a gas mech and get her checked.
Sorry I couldnt be more help mate.

dam, its okai.
Looks like this prob has had me beat.
Its happended before, three times now, but the next day it was working fine.
Happended for the first time about 4 months ago and then just a couples of days ago and then now.
Tomorrow morning it will prob work fine, but i doubt it has long before it totaly ****s it self.

i think your talking about a gas lock there should be 2 of them 1 on the tank and 1 near the convertor are they both clicking or is 1 clicking???? they run off the same power wire ..the power wire also runs off a safty switch which gets a siginal from the - side of the coil or has a wire wraped around the coil wire... if it doesnt work the gas wont turn on...the lpg will not work unless the motor has a iginition siginal...so if the key is on the lock should click once then un click....heres an example of the wiring diagram
the gas lock also has a filter inside it it may be blocked get a mechanic to check it...
wires normaly green gas......yellow fuel.......white guage......red power....black earth
