Can anyone tell me how to clean the filters and or anything else to stop the sluggish performance of my car when running on gas, it should start on petrol and after a couple of seconds switch over to gas, but it only seems to do this when the engine is warm, Help. Saundo !

Another LPG question, is there a conspiracy thismorning?

LPG only switches over when a pre determined temperature has been reached, on a warm summer day it might take 30 seconds, on a cool morning maybe 3 or 4 minutes, on a freezing day maybe 5 minutes.

If thet temp switching is faulty, then i would check the main cooliong system thermostat first, if thats ok and its reluctant to change over at all then maybe it need to be checked by a competent LPG workshops...who might be struggling because these maker supplied dual fuel systems lack back up and often the maker of the system has gone bust in the meantime, your chosen LPG man is the one to ask but he may not have the software to make adjsutments to fuelling...i seem to recall many Vauxhall conversions being done at Millbrook workshops.

Filter should be fairly obvious if you look at the LPG plumbing, hopefully once you find it and get any serial numbers or brand name from the housing you can find a new filter online, or again a good LPG man might help.
