Default LPG poll!!

Have any of you actually seen a poorly running Scoob on gas - and if so was it classic or newage?? I've got a theory that poor running is more of an issue for classics that don't have the ECU control of newages...

Bearing in mind that the RON of autogas is around 107 I imagine that the problem is more down to the installation than the fuel. Earlier classics do have a **** poor ECU though...

poor running with lpg is down to poor mixture control i know

The problem is caused by slight variations in fuel quality from different fourcourts it is usually just a matter of a quarter turn on the mixture screw on the lpg vapouriser
