It's a single vapouriser. They usually are because cost and I don't exactly feel this was a "premium" installation anyway!

I've slowly kept chiseling away at things, but finding time, inclination and the help to get a spark of "I wonder" is not always the easiest. It also had the problem of it works on petrol and is usable so I didn't need to dedicate time to it (i also have this with my home cinema set-up, I can watch films in it and they're good, but i still have jobs to do).

A *lot* of LPG theory says that it highlights faults in the cars system being fussier than petrol, which *IS* true, but in this case also proved a red herring. I was expecting a minor petrol fault to get worse and it never did. The age of the LPG installation being under a year before i got the car also pointed that way. However, despite them being quite well known, there was obviously someone doing less than perfect installs.
