So after taking my 90 on a 500 mile round trip from Bristol to York and back over the weekend, she decided that she didnt want to continue on a 10 mile trip to my office, to the lpg shop and then home again. I will note I was driving on petrol at the time, and the car gradually died and didnt cut out (instantly suggesting a fuel problem, proven when the recovery bloke shorted the HT lead against the chassis.)


As you will see in the attached photo it took afore mentioned man in his bright orange suit and a truck with flashing lights on it to take me to the lpg station (spitting distance from where the truck died...somewhat ironically...) Filled up on lpg whilst sat on the recovery truck, flicked over from petrol to lpg and she came back to life instantly. The instantaneous firing suggested some serious petrol problems as (those of you with petrol/lpg conversions will know) flicking from petrol to lpg is never an easy process in comparison to the other way round.


With alarm bells ringing for problems with fuel pump/fuel pump relay/fuel pump fuse, I had a flick through my manual and online and found nothing as to the location of relay/fuse. Can someone please enlighten me as to the location of these as I want to check those before I go hammer and tong into the pump straight away?

Also could be a fuel blockage so will check that once I'm happy with the pump and fuses, and the state of the fuel filter while I'm at it.


Ta!

That looks like a truck belonging to Victoria recovery.

Run out of petrol?

@ratty indeed it is! Heroes!


@tottot has got 3/4's of a tank!

Blocked fuel filter?

Having been away all weekend I finally got into this last night. Had a look under the drivers seat to find a particularly shoddily fitted relay which turns off the fuel pump when running on LPG. It was all gashed up with leccy tape and the spade fittings were in a bad way.

Tested the circuit on the fuel power line and all was well. Then tested the same over the line which comes from the lpg/petrol switch and got nothing which seems to be the problem. Next test will be to get power to the pump to make sure it's definitely a problem with the cable from the fuel switch to the pump relay. Fingers crossed as I'm hoping to get out on the weekend!!!
