Hi Guys,

a few weeks back the old Rangie started deciding it doesn't want to start on gas.... It's getting worse. 19 times out of 20 it would always start instantly (first kick of the starter) on gas. Over the last few weeks, it's gas starting has been dependent on how long it's been since it was previously running. It's down to about 20minutes now. If it's been running in the last 20minutes ... it'll fire straight up on lpg... otherwise it has to be started on petrol.

I'm figuring it's bleeding off the line pressure. Do I just need to change the lock off valve on the converter ? Once started it's fine. Eg: the second it hits on petrol, you can flick the switch to LPG and it's away and happy.

seeya,

What type/brand is the system .

If it`s the solenoid you mean pull it apart and have a look but where do you think it`s leaking to , does it start easily hot .

Can you smell any lpg
