LPG Question And Help PLease
Hi All from frozen Normandy
I Have a 1996 Grand Cherokee Limited Auto Petrol/Lpg.
Just recently on changing over to Gas the engine cuts out runs fine on Petrol.When I restart on Petrol I switch to Gas raise the revs and she dies again.
Could I have some thoughts please.
Many thanks Regards
P.S. IU have Five green lights on the Gas gauge

Old fart with a wrench
Check the LPG regulator to make sure you're getting flow.

Check the regulator, if there is not enough water flowing through it, it can freeze up ( ice should NOT form on it ) If the regulator is old maybe the diaphragm has developed a hole. - listen for excessive hissing
There is normally a "manual" gauge on LPG tanks inside the fitting connection area on the side of the tank.
Check all your wire connections from the tank to the switch and gauge box to the control box under the bonnet - a loose or shorted wire can cause all sorts of crazy problems.
If you still can't find the problem take it to a LICENSED ( I can't stress that enough ) LPG installer and get them to check it.
