Found in another forum LPG installer horror story !!!!
Shlock Horror Story of a guy from Norway and an LPG converted V6 Golf
He could not figure out why the car was using both LPG and petrol at the same time
I have had a fire in my car, an installer who thinks he is an expert, 30 adjustments done by him and finally he found out I was just being
difficult and refused to touch my car. I drove 2500 kilometres to Romania this summer and the car used the normal LPG and 150 litres of petrol while I
drove on LPG....dropped by a workshop in Zalau, Romania and told me he is not intertested in adjusting home installed equipment..... On my way back I
visited a German installer and he tells me my car has a 4 cylinder kit installed. My car has the VR6 engine. The emulator is a 4-cylinder unit. He
takes out the LPG fuse and the car kept on running on 2 petrol injectors....further checks show that there are strange connections and he told me he
does not want to do any adjustments on my car as he does not know what the installer has done. He did however make a connection with some wires and a
switch so that I can switch off the fuel pump after switching manually to LPG. This should be a strong case for me when my lawyer comes home from his
holidays.
4 cylinders running on gas injectors 2 on the petrol injectors -- that would do it. :-) rotf

tbh I doubt very much any car engine would run at all on such an over rich mixture and it certainly would not idle correctly if at all. LPG
conversions are a doddle to do but you still get garages insisting you need a Corgi fitter and that you'll never get insurance, both a just pure
lies. It isn’t any harder to do than running a car on petrol.

But it wasn't over rich 2 cylinders were running on petrol 4 on gas !

It has been known for V8 to be converted using 2x4 cylinder LPG kits.
