Yep...had Liquid Injection LPG installed in my car...was running ok but after it being tuned to make 250awkw I'm having issues switching fuel on the move. Sometimes when it switches I hit some sort of fuel cut and it takes a little while for the gas system to deliver enough juice to get the engine going...at best it'll splutter and slow down...at worst it'll stall.

Had it happen on the freeway once...NOT FUN!!!

[WAGON_BOY]

interesting

bad luck on the change over but.

just keep the Gas tank topped up? lol aren't you happy with 250kw on gas? i think its insane!

or you could just continue to run e85. couldnt believe i filled up a whole tank for $65

[scotty nm35]

Its obviously not a full tank mate. You sender sounds a bit weird, it was doing the same thing on the dyno remember. No wonder you have been complaining about low Km's from a tank...

Hmm what do u mean?

I get this issue even with a full tank...I think. Its pretty random, doesn't happen all the time. Now I just sit until it switches to gas then start driving...not a huge deal I suppose!

I'll get the gas installer to check it out...

sender? the thing that reads the level of fuel???

yeh im gonna go buy a jerry, and actually let it completely run out. and see what actually happens. - but in saying that it is abit strange coz the tank said empty when we did the fuel pump, and there was still quite abit of fuel in there.

the fuel pump assembly is $400 though from nissan. but i think that includes the pump.

but i filled up about 50 litres at the pump. does that sound right?

[ironpaw]

How empty were you?

When I get the low fuel warning I have around 15-20L of fuel left.

I've never been able to fill more then 70L of fuel in. We have a 80L tank....

[Sunkist]

yeh lol i just realised that.

i think something may be wrong with the level thing in the tank..

it was doing it on the dyno aswell.. as if someone had added fuel to the tank.

maybe my cars haunted.

The ethanol may clean the carbon tracks, otherwise you may have to change the sender if you want it fixed.

Mine used to play up, not anymore...

[Sunkist]

oh ok..

doesnt really bother me anyway. i always refill at about 250-300km anyway just to be sure.

[WAGON_BOY]

finished fabricating the piece for the airfilter box today, cost under $20 in materials but the time i spent in fab. i could have just bought the thing from nissan LOL.

still gotta paint it so it doesnt stand out like dogs balls.

Dude, that looks fcuking factory...how long did it take you to make that?

You'd make a nice profit selling these on here

Is it lined with rubber up top?

took me fricken ages (a period over 3 days....... probly 8hrs)

first a carboard template of the bottom (airbox etc) , then a carboard template of the bonnet (top).

made the final one out of 0.9mm metal, put the rubber strip on the top.......... then to finish it off rubbed vaso on the rubber and closed the bonnet, any highs would leave vaso on the bonnet and tweaked it untill perfect

rubber ontop of the metal strip but no rubber on the bonnet......... could use some foam with double sided tape on the bonnet but i dont think there is a need to.

Given you now have a custom prototype.. replicate it! http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Make-Your-Own-Prototypes-%3a-How-to-make-your/ there may be better tutorials for making vacuum molds etc just an idea though. Id buy one too
