. is there just a bolt to remove at the bottom of the cylinder thing? should there be like a release of gas as i am taking it off???

Should be a bolt at bottom of vapouriser.Gas will escape.

TBH if you're not 100% sure take to someone who is.

Thinking about it I think the bolt for draining was on the filter rather than the vap when the lad last looked at mine.

Was ages ago and my memory ain't too good

[tonaz]

had a look, got the filter out and cleaned it and it was full of iron filings at the bottom. gave it a good blow out and cleared all the little bits out the bottom. the garage was meant to have done this!

think the drain for mine was on the vaporisor, nothing came out when i took it out though?


it's also got another problem now... it didn't turn over very well on wednesday night. then wouldn't start thursday morning. managed to jump start it and got another battery. put old battery on charge. was fine until sunday  but wasn't driven from friday night until then, went to start it sunday afternoon and nothing, totally dead. put old battery back on and it started fine. had it into garage and alternator and everything is fine. anyone got any ideas???

Your battery may just have died. Charge it off the vehicle for a good amount of time, I like to trickle charge using a smart charger for 24-48 hrs. After theis, test it after 30 mins off the charger and about 6-12 hrs off the charger. I'd bet that it will not be holding it's charge and will show roughly 50% 'full' after a few hours off the charger. There's probably a slight electrical drain when the jeep is turned off.

yeah just seems strange it's been fine for 3 months on the old battery and then drained a new one in less than 3 days? how to i find out what's draining it/how do i permanently fix it? 

[Panic mechanic!]

If its a brand new battery I would take it back and get them to test it, its not  unheard of to have new battery's that fail quickly,Otherise you need to look for a fairly big drain, check your interior lights are not tuned on permanently and stuff like that. Electrical drains can be a right  pain to trace.

had the battery chaecked and it was fine mate. really strange!

If you had to unplug owt when messing with the lpg best check all them there connections/wires for integrity.
