In the case of US convertors (Impco, OHG, etc), orientation of the convertor is not critical for operation and I used to always mount them so that the vapour outlet was towards the bottom for precisely this reason. I never saw a convertor that I had installed come back with this problem... I don't expect it to change when I get back into installations later this year or early next year... -- Athol <http://cust.idl.com.au/athol> Linux Registered User # 254000 The state of infrastructure in New South Wales is a disgrace.

Is this an auto-change one or a manual switch? some of the auto ones have all kinds of modes. One of mine has a thing that puts it into a programming mode if you turn it on/off in certain ways. >I went and forgot my bodge lead though so couldnt try and force >voltage to the solenoids :( ah. there's always something. -- Austin Shackles. www.ddol-las.net my opinions are just that "Remember that to change your mind and follow him who sets you right is to be none the less free than you were before."

Its a manual change. has petrol, nowt or gas modes. The light on the right hand end appears to flash when ignition is on but engine is off.

Bodge lead was packed in the small toolbox i always keep in the back of the car.... But then thismorning i took my other car for its first test run after an engine rebuild. I put the toolbox and my petrol can in the back. What happened tonight.. gas cut out so i switched onto petrol... and then i ran out of petrol about a mile from home! I thought that petrol gauge was doing well since it has said half full since november... |
