Some LPG stuff. ALL SOLD

[ben711200]

Some gas stuff that I clearly am not going to be needing when the car goes derv

First up is a vaporiser/condensor/reducer (whichever you prefer ). It's an OMVL R90e, which I chose as an upgrade of my old one on recommendation of quite a few people. Their website says the range adjustment means it can be used on engines from 500cc to about 6 litres. Being a popular model rebuild kits are easily available, though not needed yet as this one has had limited use of only a few months Tinley Tech sell them for £90 plus VAT, which is about £108

38mm mixer, 70mm clamping diameter. There's nothing to go wrong on these so condition is good

Closed loop upgrade kit. Uses a Lambda to adjust the fuelling more accurately. I haven't removed it from the car yet, but it's only had a few months use and is in GWO. I bought it from Tinley Tech. Current list price is £121.44 plus VAT, which is 145.73...

Edit: TT don't like hotlinked pics, have a look here

I'm interested Ben, but am on a quick learning curve. Any pointers on how this would connect up to a carb fed system would be welcome. Do you know of any websites where this is covered? Most seem to deal with petrol injection, I just have a K&N atop the carb so I need to understand what's going on with the mixer install and how the petrol is stopped.

Sorry - loads of Q's!

No worries.

First off, the vaporiser I'm selling is almost definitely the sort of thing that you will be after.

I can't think of any specific websites I'm afraid, though the TT one I linked to above is worth a read. You're options for a carb'd engine are a 'open loop' (aka 'mixer) system or 'closed loop'. Wikipedia is usually a good place to start too..
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autogas

For open loop, the vaporiser is heated by the cooling system which allows the fuel to to be vaporised and is drawn through by the vacuum of the air inlet to the mixer (venturi effect). The mixer in your case would be bolted to the top of the carb so you'd be chucking pre-mixed LPG and air through the barrel of the carb.

The closed loop side of things is a refinement of that system because it uses a stepper motor between the Vaporiser and the mixer to alter the amount of gas that flows to the mixer by using the signal from the Lambda sensor to determine whether it's running rich or lean.

Hope that helps a little bit

pm me a price posted for the lot and we'll sort out a deal.

Thanks Ben. I think I'm getting there.

I'll stand second in the cue behind damageandy as he was quicker on the draw to purchase. I will take all of the equipment if Andy doesn't.

Sorry Chris, looks like you were beaten to it. Sold
