Does anyone else have trouble pumping lpg in hot weather, mine just trickles in very slowly if at all. On a hot day I end up standing at the pump for up to 10 minutes.

standard operating procedures I'm afraid!
On cold mornings I can get over 100lt and hot days lucky to force 80lt in the big guy!
Has a lot to do with the pumps and storage tanks at the servo.

Have you tried rocking your 4x4. You'll hear the AFL valve clicking

Haven't tried the rocking thing but will give it a go, there have been days when I can only get 15 - 20 litres in before it cuts out.

Is the tank still in date?? It might be worth while to get it re tested and have the internals checked and cleaned coz theres a chance that there is something broken or gummed up with wax.
