Why is it that the car needs petrol in the tank to stop her from stalling while running on gas?
I can't offer any more info on that from this end TomW as I've never let it run out of petrol but good question. My guess is that maybe it doesn't stop it stalling due to the fuel missing at the point of burning but because (if I have this right?) the LPG system is still hooked into the petrol ECU the lack of petrol puts an end to the show?
