check the fuel filter and pump for output and presure the pump should produce aprox 90 psi !!! if you are talking lpg then check the fuse and then the lpg change over valve
Hi dave hill, not really sure on your problem but I have a VN commodore that I purchased that had the fuel pump crook and did the same thing of not starting on petrol. Owner said to hold in lpg button when starting . I got the fuel pump replaced. Mechanic said it was caused by not running petrol through enough and running always on LPG.
Happy Holidays to you too.
You will also need to change the
Burner
Nozzle
Pilot injector and the
Gas regulator in order for the unit to function properly. You might try running a ad on CraigsList. If you cannot find one for free, you may end up spending more money then the unit is worth. You could also put the word out with local plumbing companies that replace these heaters to look out for a used one. Some one out there has to have one those laying around.
The lpg either cylinder or gas tank must have a pressure reducing valve which sets the gas pressure to that required by the boiler. After that valve the piping is the same as for any gas boiler.Where the pipe goes through the wall floor of similar - make sure the pipe has a sheath to protect it from gouges and or wet
The regs - Not sure about the USA but here in UK we have comply. different regs for tank or cylinder The lpg supplier is a good source of info
temperature control knob may not be properly connected and not actually turning the spindle behind it. OR if the flow through the hot tap has become reduced over the years there could be furring in the heat exchanger
You will have to recheck that all the wires were reinstaled.The noise is the fuel pump.The lpg system has its own fuses so you will have to check them also.The only thing you touched was the battery so the problem is there somewhere..Earth wire is also important just double check all the things you undid.Let me know how you go
LPG fueled vehicles are inherently "cold-natured" due to the temperature drop when the "liquid" gas under pressure reverts to gaseous state causing a frost build up around nozzles and jets. The only solutions are to start on pump gas until up to operating temperature and the switch fuels, or allow the engine to warm up to operating temperature on LP gas before driving, thus avoiding the stall point.
