My truck

Post by alain »

Hi,

Been on here for a while, but never posted anything. I own a '77 Dodge W200 (among other cars) with a turbocharged 318ci on LPG.

Yes I am. I started out with one converter, but when I got to about 3psi it would die as if you flicked a switch. Get off the throttle and it would pick right back up. I thought the gas flow through the converter might not be enough, so I tee'd in another converter I had lying around. This solved the problem and the truck runs well all the way to 8 psi. Both the converters are boost-referenced from the carb hat.
