My LPG efficiency also seems to be dropping - was getting 200 miles out of full tank now nearer 150 (bit hard to tell as my mileometer is out) but effieiceny definately dropping, despite warmer weather.

When I bought van I was told about making small adjustment to the brass nut to subtly alter flow and preserve efficiency...? Anyone know much about this - no intention to make a big effect on system just 1/4 turn, but good idea? and which way???

turning it in willreduce power, increase econ, out the oposite, unless you have already gone in too far, which will reduce power, and econ becuase it is struggling too much...

change your air filter, and possibly your plugs too..... LPg senses ignition issues whey before petrol, and shows it in the tank milage
