    Gas on D2

    Pulled up at Shepparton (near all those cows on LSD) only to see fluid dripping off both exhausts, a fair bit, two puddles 15cm across in a couple of mins,, it wasnt red, it wasnt fuel, so it must be--

    condensation from the gas??
    it had just had a good two hour run up the highway,

    The system was installed(and serviced!) by Smithy's in Bayswater.
    The web site doesnt actually use the word "sequential", but there are 8 injectors.

    Smithy's are very reputable, so I'd give them a ring and ask for Terry if you need to know anything about your gas system. He's a good bloke and will tell you how it all works. The system you are most likely to have is gas injection which makes use of the normal injection signals to control the gas injectors. Smithy's have done a few liquid LPG installations, but these are a lot more expensive (but give you even better power and economy).

    They converted 2 of my previous cars (Volvos, using the old school type of gas system).
    Cheers

    I have a injetced LPG D2, and dont notice any extra water than when on fuel. Its a sprint system.

    I've had 2 D1's on LPG, non injected, same comment, no unusual water either.

    One difficulty with internet forums is one never knows whether the person posting is using a verb or an adjective.
