I am new and i've done all the possible searches i can think of and found nothing on this one so forgive me if it has been covered.

I have just bought an L300 1991 with a dual fuel conversion done on it.It runs nicely on LPG with one strange problem.....on idle it ticks away nicely untill you turn something on like the heater fan , radio or put it in reverse(light comming on i guess) and stalls.... you can hear the cutoff soleinoid in action just before it stalls.So i am guessing its a voltage drop.
I have changed the balist resistor and the 80A fuseable link as they looked dodgey.Also put a new set of plugs in,oil change the usual....

On petrol it runs ok but i think the fuel in the tank may be stale .Will put some preimium in when i've used this lot up....

Anyone had a simalar problem???
Thanks in advance. :thumbsup:

Sounds like an earth issue or wiring problem with the fuel solenoids for the gas. I would check all the earths and relays for the gas system.

Make sure your battery earth is good too.. :)

Turns out the altenator was replaced at some stage and it had the wrong V pulley on it.The belt had worn down and was only touching each side of the suspect pulley on the altenator.As soon as it loaded up it slipped.With no noise i might add....
New pulley problem solved...
