TBH its done it a few times where its taken a few turns to get it going im hoping its just fuel TBH as ive only filled it 2-3 times with petrol since ive had it and with using LPG its never been on the top of my list

ive read on here it takes like ?20-30 get em going again

I can't see where it needs so much fuel to get it going? I've ran mine so close to the limit on so many occassions, well past the light coming on and near on 30 miles in! Still started! Maybe my tank sensor is not calibrated and there's more juice in there then I think there is?

Do the LPG set-ups only start using petrol then switchover to gas once it is running? Is this automatic? Just wondering if there is a solenoid not actuating causing it to start in gas mode? What set-up do you have on your zed as I am not familiar with LPG systems as a whole?

i ran out of fuel a couple of times early on in my driving career but not sure how ou can run out when you have the choice petrol or lpg lol

i had a calibra that had lpg and i used to start it on lpg with the manual setting, was 2 litre 16valve and wished i never sold it and that was a few year ago now
