P38A LPG reducer position query

Zorro587 · Jan 30, 2017

Hi all, if anyone has an LPG conversion where the reducer is on the driver's side of the engine bay can they post a photo up showing where it is mounted to, or message me one please.

Mine is on the passenger side and so I have (an exessive) 6ft of water hose that has to make its way behind the block to the reducer and back to where it is Tee'd into the heater matrix supply, and so I've decided to move it.

I feel that mine is causing a non-issue (if that makes any sense) where the system decides it's time to switch to gas, yet personal experience says it isn't time yet, ie, coolant not warm enough. I know that the swap over temperature should be accessible and changeable through software, but I fgeel the position of the reducer might be having a negative impact. It also looks cr4p.

I'm sure I've seen a photo of at least one on the driver's side but bu99ered if I can find it.

Thanks

Mines on the drivers side, right next to the fuse box. You can see it there with the brake sphere just behind it...

same place on my GEMS, but cant do photo for a while !! LPG bits were moved aside to help reaching exhaust manifold, etc, when removing heads !!

Mine's in the same place on my GEMS. I'm about to replace it though as it's leaking into the cooling system.

Mines on the passenger side, mounted on top of the suspension turret. No issues!

I understand you wanting to move it for aesthetics, but the water moves so fast through that pipework once the engine is up to speed, I doubt it'll make any difference to the change over time. Like you said, if you want it to change over at a higher temp, you'd be best doing it with the software.

Just in case you wanted to save yourself a job...
