As I turned onto William Street in Sydney today, my BA egas Falcon
decided to stop - in the middle of the bloody intersection. It was lucky
that I was facing down hill so I was able roll out of the way of the
traffic.

The NRMA came and the bloke had a fiddle for a while and told me that I
was out of LPG and the guage was reading wrong (it was showing a quarter
tank and just under 200k's on the range reading).

Got a tow to a servo, filled it up and still no starting. It only took
49l of LPG which shows that it wasn't empty. Seems the gauge wasn't
wrong afterall.

As it sits, it has a full tank of LPG, it will crank but will not star
at all - dosnt even sound like it it's trying to fire. I an wondering
whether its some sort of electrical problem as opposed to an LPG related
problem.

Anyone have any ideas? It's out of warranty and I'm tossing up whether
to take it to an eleco, gas place, general workshop or Ford dealer.

Anyone have any ideas on what might cause this? Any common BA egas
issues (!) that might be a starting point?

He mentioned it was an egas falcon, so it's factory.
Isn't this fairly common, I remember reading of several cases...

It's a factory gas Falcon (the green motor), not an aftermarket
conversion or anything like that.

Dunno, have not had a chance to look yet. It only turned up on the tow
truck an hour ago (long story) :-)

I'll have a squiz tomorrow and let you know.
