S60 Bi-Fuel 2003 - LPG issues

chrisbp · Oct 27th, 2016, 22:04

Hi. Can anyone help me with my 2003 Volvo S60 Bi-Fuel factory fitted LPG conversion and the current mileage 142k? I have a problem with LPG cutting off while driving on warm engine mainly (but not always). I have replaced: LPG filter as well as the LPG solenoid and nothing has changed since then. While driving on autogas the car begins to lose power (mainly warm engine) and, despite pressing the acceleration pedal the power goes down, until finally extinguished. It only allows me to drive when I immediately switch to petrol. I try to start the engine in LPG mode again and it starts but immediately revs go down and the engine goes off. I have to stop the car, switch off the engine and wait a few moments to start it in petrol mode and then I can switch on LPG again. Has anyone ever came across this issue?
I can only add a clue that it starts ok when the engine is cold and starts cutting off the LPG when becoming warm so it must have something to do with the temperature (but I'm not sure) whether it is going through reducer or somewhere else I don't know.
Please help me if you can. Thanks in advance.
