lpg stupidity

[Outback 1]

had a customer come in this morning with starting /running issues on petrol checked the codes came up with maf so I removed the top of the air cleaner and the element to find the lpg installers had cut a rectangular hole in the airbox and screwed the computer into the base of the airbox !!!!!!!!! what the hell were they thinking ? :confused::confused::confused:

I'm guessing they were thinking, "Neat Job!" ??


Maybe forgetting an engine has to have air :)

That is what some bad mechanics call a boomerang job.
They screw the customer more than once. :(

Some people can actually read the words and realise what is being said.

Pics are not always needed to get the message across, your continual montage of clippings does get annoying at times.

I hadn't bothered replying to this thread because, without pictures, it's basically worthless. I mean, if the gas computer fitment resulted in a hole on the dirty side of the element, who cares, at least the computer keeps cool. On the other hand, if it was fitted with a rough hole on the clean side it would be quite stupid. I agree with Pedro.:)

for those that could not understand what srewed to the bottom of the airbox meant

even if its being installed on a four wheel drive vehicle which may or may not at some time in its future be used in a river crossing !!!!

At which point the owner may, after every other electric connection emits acrid smoke and bubbles, realise that an Isuzu powered Deefer would have been a better choice!!!:bangin::Rolling::Rolling:

Anyway, the job looks pretty rough but shouldn't affect the gas ecu, they are quite water resistant. More likely the extra dust getting in the box might warrant more frequent element changes.:)

The gas ecu might be pretty hardy when it comes to water but once the motor has injested a gut full of h20 via the mess of a hole some twit of a gas installer has made of the air box . This all becomes a totaly different kettle of fish after said event i get what ken means ;)

If someone did that on my car, I would literally to ape!

That's not an installation, it's a hack job.
