disconnected the lpg on my car today ,just plain and simply got sick of it. the car just didn't run all that good and always seemed to be struggling. i know you lose power on lpg but i think the main offender was the gas ring, it acted more like a restrictor more than anything. so with that removed off the intake and running bp 95 ron the car is completely different not thrashing it as much and is basically a whole better car. last tank of petrol was 11L/100klm were as gas was around 13-15 city driving sometimes more depending on gas quality.:happy:

gas running a lot better. put air intake back to stock including filter, put oil drip system on fiddled around with converter . now seems to be running a heap better but think the converter may be the problem. anyhow a lot happier now will look into the gas ring situation when everybody gets back to work again

well finally found the real culprit for my gas woes no compression. did compression test compressions from cyl 1-4 were 80 - 80-100-50psi. i did find out a couple of months after i bought the car that the previous owner had cooked the motor> so now i am deciding whether to replace the motor or get another car, unsure whether will be magna again this one has cost me a bundle.
