3.5 EFI on LPG won't start
Spacemud:
It's playing up again!!! ](*,)
Have dropped the tank three times now as the pump stopped working again (and again). At the moment it is working but when on petrol rather than LPG it idles erratically (is it called hunting :? ). switch to LPG and it'll idle fine.
Any suggestions as to the reason? Should I have bled the fuel system? Just read through some old posts and realised it may need to be bled. I did have the filter off and changed a couple of pipes so it has been messed about with quite a bit?
Thanks!

I had a similar problem the other day on mine though Im on carbs and dont have lpg!
I was going up a steep..ish concrete drive and the car decided to loose all power at the top and died, i rolled back down to the bottom as i knew i was low on fuel and had suspected it had ran out but all it would do is splutter then after 30 seconds or so it wouldnt even try to fire.
I then got the tools out and made sure it was sparking and if i put petrol directly into the carbs it would splutter and try to start so diagnosed it as a fuel pump issue, went to find the fuel pump (just next to the passenger trailling arm mount, gave it a tap with a spanner and it started up again, its been running fine since then until today where it stopped 3 times within 1 mile! A quick hit of the pump and off it goes again! Do i need a new fuel pump?
Spacemud:
Sounds similar to mine, but I can't hit mine without taking it out of the tank :evil:
Think, I'll get another...........secondhand, they are about £75 for a new one!!
Spacemud:
Took delivery of a secondhand petrol pump today and fitted it this evening (there's nothing I don't know now about removing and fitting a fuel tank, iv'e done it that may times with this one!!!).
Looks like the old pump was dodgy as running on petrol again. Not convinced that the hunting has stopped but that problem can wait as i'm fine on LPG.

Is your LPG a draw-through system then?
When ours was hunting/running bad on petrol it was the ECU gone first time around and the ignition advance processor every time after that, when it gets wet it advances on petrol too :roll: .
