Compression is down to around 100psi on each cylinder (dry) on my tester so is already very low. My tester is not the best so could be out a little.

The first tank did after making adjustments did around 150 miles including a lot of stationary setup time. Something has to have changed for it to be using so much more fuel now. If it was just rich running then the engine would be chugging and kangarooing with the excessive fuel.

The offer is there to take the system off for a full refund of the conversion.

Same old excuses. Be nice to do right by this guy tho eh? Are you (personally) on LPG register and are your conversions also on the register?
