    LPG on a hot day

    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.

    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.

    try another servo, some station's equip is under maintained or simply old
    IF IT'S NOT A NISSAN.
    THEN IT'S A COMPROMISE

    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.
