Aaron, is this gas conversion what attracted you to buying the vehicle in the first place??? I have absolutely no idea how they work or how they are wired because I have never worked on one. I'm not entirely sure of the problem because I haven't seen the car, but obviously the fuel pump is disinengaged when the LPG is running, so it could be a simple fault whereas it's not switching back, I don't know I'm guessing. At Eurotech when we are going to hopefully get your car running, would ripping this LPG kit out be an option??? We have wiring diagrams and technical info on Deloreans, but do you have any technical info on this LPG kit, I mean worst case scenario, can we junk the kit if need be and get the car running normally???

I thought that was the whole point?! Then maybe sell the kit to someone who's gullible enough to think it's a good idea! ;) :lol:

Like you have all said , best to look at this kit at Eurotec... especially the 'gas ring' round the air intake, i do remember seeing a picture of this fitted and it looked pretty 'restrictive'

Best get the car running spot on without this in place and take it from there in my view

It would help if Aaron could take a quick video of the engine bay, especially around the metering head area, just in case we need to bring gear up with us, I have no idea how this LPG is plumbed in, and whether they are using the original bosch parts when the car runs unleaded???

Yes it does Jay

Dan can hopefully bring metering head etc, if anyone has any jetronic bits then worth bringing them.

If someone were to bring a pre-1985 Volvo 760 then we'd be sorted! ;)
