Hi guys,
I would like to ask if anyone has any experience of LPG on our beloved Jeeps here in the UK?
I bought my Jeep a few weeks back with an LPG system already fitted. It had a known problem in that it wont run right on LPG at all.
It stutters, the revs go up and down and finally it just cuts out.
I am hoping there is an easier fix that I can try rather than having to spend the £600 - £700 in replacing the entire system. I live in Lancashire.
Cheers everyone.

I originally considered just the ****. Since the T Handle pops off so easy, I thought there may be something like a pear shaped one with the push **** on the top( or side, or where ever)
Maybe something off a dodge/chrysler product.
I was hoping someone would chime in with a " The **** from my Bentley fits perfectly" kind of post.

It's very common to see kits installed on new cars and trucks too. The system itself is not that complicated.
I would say try to find a "rebuild" kit for your regulator, and throw that in first. Clean the system while you're at it.
I don't know how popular LPG is there, but shops that work on the system are very common here. I'd look around and see if you can find one to trouble shoot if the rebuild kit doesn't solve the problem.

Here in the Dominican Republic, it seems like EVERYONE runs LPG on their vehicles. I've never been a fan, so I stick to good old gasoline, as expensive as it is.

Make sure all of that is new first. No fancy plugs. NGK coppers work great.

It's all about matching the parts to what you plan to do

Speaking of auto trans shifter, is there an easy way to adjust the linkage ???
Mine seems to not quite line up with the labels, to the point where I think it is hitting the end of the plastic slot before getting down to "Low 1".
Can I just pop out that plastic rectangle that contains the slot, and access anything from there ???
It's not really a big problem, but neutral appears to overlap down into overdrive, overdrive down into 3, etc etc etc

I think you can adjust the linkage if you follow it back, link below:

Okay, thanks ... but that seems to be more about the linkage to the ignition switch (which is also sometimes flaky - key doesn't always want to go back to lock and come out).
But I think the problem is the lever connection to the transmission itself: the red mark doesn't line up exactly with the gear numbers on the indicator, so you have to be halfway between "O" and "3" before you are out of neutral.
