Hello,
I have just bought a 2006 ML350 with LPG conversion and was looking for some advice.
I was told that I needed to keep the heating temp around 17deg to ensure circulation of the coolant through the LPG vaporizer would turn the liquid to gas. This was fine when I picked the car up 10 days ago as the weather was around 12degs and dull.
However for the last few days when the temp has been up at 16 the car is stuttering and the MIL comes on and stalls on gas. The LPG vapouriser is covered in frost and so no circulation has been taking place of the heating fluid. I had to have the heaters on 20degs before the car would run on LPG.
Does this sound right to anyone. The garage say that it is ok and that is the only way they could do the installation!!
I am concerned that during our holidays to france we will need to have the heaters on at 30degs or that LPG will be no use.
I am really concerned about this and thinking of rejecting the car....any thoughts on this?
thanks
Trevor
