    They want to check the mechanical gauge attached to the LPG tank. The typeical LED LPG fuel gauge is not too accurate... it just tells you full, 3/4, half, 1/4, empty.

    I am just fortunate my system reads in percentages between 85% down to 12% in increments of 1%.

    My LED indicator is quite "conservative".

    When i'm doing 10km/L++ average in fuel consumption, here's the sequence of my LED indicator going off as against my trip meter which i reset to zero when i fill up my LPG tank:
    1st LED goes off at the 80-100km mark
    2nd LED goes off at the 130km mark
    3rd LED goes off at the 230-250km mark
    Low Warning (beep and blinking 4th LED) goes off between 250-260km mark

    I can still go all the way to 500km without running out of LPG at this rate (have not encountered running my LPG tank dry). I usually gas up when i hit the 400km mark on my trip meter though.

    May problem yung LPG sa A33 Cefiro. After engine swap, the LED turned off. Checked the fuse ok naman. What could be the problem?

    Just bring it back to the installer and let them figure it out.

    Assuming the Auto-LPG kit is still functioning without the LED display, it could be a busted LED module.

    ^Thanks. Called Macro recently but they only do service by appointment.

    BTW I replaced my engine because of constant overheating. When the new engine was installed, there was still an unusual high pressure from the cooling system. And since the LPG kit isn't functioning, I asked the mechanic to bypass the "vaporizer". It instantly relieved the pressure from the cooling system (the upper rad hose is no longer bloated).

    Been two months already and no overheat. My new engine seems ready for LPG. So I'll have the it reactivated asap. I hope the LPG's ECU is still intact.

    is it possible that the vaporizer is leaking lpg gas into the cooling system that can result to bloated or ruptured hoses?

    I thought of this before when i had some coolant flow problems but the guy at Greenfuel before said it wasnt the case (i changed my vaporizer though). I cured my coolant backflow problem by changing my radiator cap which was already busted pala.

    I'm getting the itch to convert my 2012 Altis to LPG as well. I drove my LPG'd 2007 Altis yesterday and boy i really love the feeling of gassing up at P25/L and flooring the gas whenever i want to.
