Can anyone explain why im only getting 120-130 miles per fill up,ive only just had the system serviced,and as i said in my earlier post that i can only get in max-54lts :(,will it make a difference if i fill up from a different garage to how much i can get in the tank,sorry if thats a stupid question but im new to this LPG lark:confused:

run it till the tanks are empty, (you might get some backing firing at this point,I do) Fill the tanks on a night due to the air been colder(denser) you will get more in. keep the button pressed in at the pump. I found this a one petrol station and the next one I went to I got a extra 10L in

no worries you will find your mileage goes up and down, around the town I can get 100miles out of 54L, but on a long run I can get 250+

How does it run on petrol??

If your likeme you might not know :) as I run on gas everywhere
The lump need to be tip top to run gas but try and start with the easy fix like, filling up at night and so on

The system works on pressure if the garage you are filling up at is low on gas the pressure in the system will be low, thus not getting a proper fill

Dont let it backfire cause you will find bits of your MAFS and air filter in your engine due to it blowing the mesh out and sucking it back in. Try changing spark-plugs, leads and air filter (I have a K&N due to the air box been blown apart at some point). Mine has all of these regularly (6mths) and also the lambda sensors have been replaced. The ignition system has to be tip-top!!!! Hows the tick-over does it wander? whats it like on petrol, also let it warm up on petrol as when the gas system is cold it uses loads of gas as it isn't properly vaporised.
 
mine always gives a lil pop when she is running low, however I do have a cone filter on to reduce damage but the one way valve should (hopefully) protect it, but no what your saying
