Thanks mate. I just noticed something that I feel not right. I thought I might ask to see if this is right.Originally Posted by King_ady1
I shut the vale of one of the tank by turning the knob in the supply side. ignition is not on. So, gas shouldn't come out if I loosen the supply hose nut, right?! I noticed gas is leaking with high pressure when i started loosening it. Now the solenoid is off since the ignition is not on at all. and the manual valve is closed by turning it as well. So, I have closed the supply side of the tank twice. So, why does it still leak?!!
I would appreciate any help with that.
Thanks
From the sounds of that, there's one of 2 problems. Faulty solenoid, or still pressure in line. Try starting engine with, then turning gas off at supply point. If the engine turns off then its just because its holding pressure in lines while off. If not the valve might be broken. In which ide take to specialist...

If I turn off the gas from the tank by turning the shut off valve(or tap is the right term), the car still keeps running.
When there is no power to the tank safety solenoid, it should shut the valve and stop gas from coming out, right?
It doesn't seem to be doing that. because when I loosen the supply line, gas keeps leaking.
Even after I shut the valve by turning the valve using the manual tap, it still keeps leaking.
Is this tank bad news?
I am wondering if the valve controlled by the solenoid and the manual shut off are the same or two different devices?
Is it possible this may be the compressed gas stuck between the converter and the tank tap?
Then, if that's the case, the engine shouldn't keep running after I shut the tap, right?
Thanks
Thanks

I just discovered it actually takes around ten minutes to the left over gas in the supply line to run out after I shut the supply line tap on the tank.
Thanks guys. It's all good now.
Awesome. Glad it all worked out for u.

Awesome setup ! I would like to get rid off the fuel system and put a second lpg tank.
how much you think for a second 85 or 100 l tank with all the stuff to go with ?
I paid $50 for a used tank with seven years left before next test date. It's APA brand and model A99 tank. 80 litres of usable capacity. Tank gauge was faulty and the float was making too much noise. So, I pulled the bits out of another APA tank I picked up for nothing and fixed that.
hydro valve available for around $80 on ebay. I bought a brand new frame for $88 and then had to modify it as well. You can buy a second hand frame from a wrecker for $15. That's what I should've done. I guess most of it is labour if you get an LPG tech to do it. Hardware cost is all around $300 I think. T filler, 3/8 fittings, 5/16 fittings, filll line, service line, etc you need to purchase from a supplier. You can get them on ebay as well.
I only installed the tank on the second tank. I got the LPG guy to do the gas connections and electrical connections due to my limited experience, I didn't want to take a chance in an area that the safety is paramount.
The third tank, I'm doing myself. I'm taking my time to do it super safe.
I will post some pictures of how I did it once it's all finished.
