V8 LPG problem

Right here goes.....

V8 110 runs solely on LPG

It's had a new viscous fan and water pump recently.

After these were fitted, the rad was filled with anti freeze and then the problem of it not starting started! The LPG unit was white (frozen)!

It just doesn't want to turn over and seeing as its been -3c recently, I'm running out of ideas!!

well please please don't listen to the dr have you tried a blow torch??

Blow torch?? To torch it or fix it!?

not surprising really..
lpg needs to turn from liquid into gas to be injected/drawn into engine..
uses a vaporiser to do this..this inturn uses the heat from the engine cooling sytem to vaporie the liguid propane..
so no heat in cooling sytem=no heat in vaporiser=no gas=no start

if vaporiser freezes its telling you to start on petrol

most if not all lpg sytems want you to start on petrol first,this is to warm up the vaporiser so that it works!if

so if it wont start on petrol for some reason and you need to run it to bleed it up and get the water past the vapouriser try pouring hot water on the vaporiser while its being cranked but not boiling water and watch out for the electrics.

you may have to keep doing this till the engine warms up so get lots ready

Thanks very much for all your help.
I'll try the warm water advice!

during the summer it will proberly start ok on gas...but in mid winter??

Yes I know, a nightmare!
It's running ok......for now.

did you use the hot water?

Yeah whilst turning it over.
Started like a bag of spanners but once warm....she growls again!

Glad to help mate
