    New thermostat & coolant temperature reading

    Hey Guys,

    I installed a brand new thermostat with new coolant on my GQ RB30.

    Below are the readings from the aftermarket gauge & the stock gauge dial on the dash.

    I'm wondering whether this looks ok.
    Coolant hoses get hot to the point they are too hot to touch and hold by hand.
    LPG converter also gets pretty hot that it's also not possible to keep my hand on it.


    Does that look normal or is it getting too hot?

    I'm happy with the reading on the aftermarket gauge reading, but wondering whether it's getting too hot now 'cos I can't touch the coolant hoses?!!

    Stock temperature sender is on the water hose flange near the cylinder head(hose from the top of the radiator).

    Aftermarket sender is on the coolant hose at the back of the engine block where the coolant hose exits to take coolant to the heater & LPG converter.

    Engine's generally sounds "happier" on petrol(I'm yet to test it on LPG as I seem to have an LPG converter issue).
