Try smacking the petrol tank from under the car while someone starts it in petrol mode. See if that works.

Does anyone else see the irony that -GAS-MAN- ran out of petrol?

Hey, i had a thought for cheaply raising your compression a little bit, put another mm of thread onto your spark plugs, so they go in deeper, taking up more space and raising compression the littlest bit... This prob wont work cos of the space in the combustion chamber, or it might not fire right, im sure someone will tell me why  Cheers Matt Isn't that what most spark plug makers do & makes you assume theirs is better? lol

cool, thanks for the ideas!
What i dont understand, is how i was told the car starts on petrol and then switches across to lpg, how is it starting? Could it be the fuel filter? I cant hear what i thought was the fuel pump starting up when i turn the key, might just be my ears! Timmeh, yeah, i havent bought more than $100 fuel in the last twelve months 
But ive done over 30thousand km's!!! I might cut off the washers on the spark plugs, but will this cause any other problems? Cheers

Cheers that filter bag will clog up with s**t as it sucks up whats left in the tank. since its on empty, remove the pump & inspect it. the filter bag is probably covered in jelly like substance & rust{blocked}. as for the spark plug washer, I'll leave it. it protects the alloy face from uneven wear or cutting in every time the spark plug is removed & installed.

Since it starts and runs on gas without a problem, despite the gas installer telling me it actually starts on petrol and flicks over to lpg, can i remove the petrol side of things all together, or will that cause problems, cant be done easily?
Apart from the weight saved, i also dont have to fix the problem (unless its just that filter your talking about).. install a valve saver that will drip very, very slowly.. maybe get a manual ecu, get a dyno and get them to advance the timings to suit.. Better economy
Or no? Thanks again everyone Matt
