Alternative Fuels

Yep.
Run phpmyadmin on the data base run check all then repair all will fix it.

The missing amount of water (just under 2L) made the convertor provide a little richer mixture which I also noticed on the AFR on acceleration. yes.. going from a 180 deg thermostat to a 140 , will change the AFRs richer by approx 0.5 AFR pionts. To re adjust, the lever height in the converter can ...

If it wasn't for LPG needing the cooling system I would never have realised the cooling system had lost all the coolant until it was to late and the engine was damaged. Closed ever got to that was a low coolant level, several times over the decades... the converter freezes up before the temp goes u...

The primary issues here was missing the tide to go diving for muscles :wink: and the thiny missing in the thermostat by pass With that missing combine ALL of the events and an ice up... remove say one, the wifes maginally heavy foot , or frosty morning or engine not warmed up slightly.. would never ...

Yesterday just before dawn.. middle winter here, good frost on the ground.. hooked up the boat to the truck to go fishing for the day. Previously backed the Camaro (lpg) out of the shed for the Qfe to go to work in... she normally takes the truck..we swap onm fishing days... and she off to work few ...

Both Storm and I are basically saying the same thing

so is it not possible set timing correctly with old carbed system ? everything I describe is carbed systems.. if it s the "EGR" that confuses you....EGR was introduced in the early 70s ...and HEI elecronic dizzies introduced with higher energy output to over come the higher resistance of the leaner...

Basically LPG below 3000 needs a faster advance than petrol... hence why many 'cheat' by upping the initial advance... but simply doing that also increases the higher petrol cruise and WoT advances which means the piston is still coming up when fires (not literally but get the idea... this resulted ...

Further to the post above.. I assume that the concern is because u have looked inside a std BBQ/ heater type tank and seen the oil and crap in the bottom after a few yrs use.. The reason for this is because std , non automotive tanks take the vapour off the top.... automotive tanks take the liquid o...

Complaint to me. This post is too long. Learn to write like Steptoe and abbreviate. To many years short hand in lectures... before computers and calculators.. and still cant spell :wink: I'm just an old guy with 34 years of background. God, I'm getting old. u know when u are getting old and then si...

I dont get any of that.... The small orifice in the shut off... Im thinking.. when the Annual checks are done.. one of them is the shut off is working..... basically have engine running, then disconnect the vacuum line to the shut off...it takes ages for the engine to shut down.. even when increase ...

I recon something has to be really wrong to get valve recession.. for a VERY long time Considering all the messing around I did over the yrs on timing, mixtures etc.. no special oils, just std 15/30 15/ 40 changed every 6 months... and when we finally stripped the heads down after a good 15/ 17 yrs ...

automated billing system could not process his credit card and the system failed to warn him about the problem. Would that be something like when domain names etc become due, the credit card is auto billed? but over the yrs one eventually gets to the expired date of the credit card? :wink: In our c...

Which basically says that my real life example above is about the limit one goes to for single std setup.
Expecting any more ..thats just showing in AFRs, but not power mid 4K rpms, but definitely effecting low 5K rpms.
Storms numbers match pretty close to reality..

I have run L convertor and 425 for several decades on the 350 sb chev The whole (cam, exhaust manifolds, final gear ratios, valley cover, 'carb' size, ) car was designed for a economical cruiser with bottom end torque....get up around the low to mid 4K rpms WoT it starts to lean .. get to high 4K lo...
