Well apparently mine is on the trailer and on the road!
Started and drove onto transporter, but is seriously low on petrol (1/2 tank lpg indicated though).
Is there a way of force starting on lpg like you can on singlepoint, with the caveats around burning out fuel pump if run tank empty. Only has to do 300m from drop off point in village square...

On mine, if you press and hold the button while turning the ignition on (pos 2), I wait till I hear the solenoids click and the green gas light will flash... then I release the button, and start it up. Starts straight on gas.

Or, as we found out while pissing about with the heater matrix (dash out etc) and bleeding the cooling system, if the controller is unplugged, it starts on gas too... not ideal when the vaporiser was full of air and froze up completely! Made some interesting noises.

It's an OMVL Dream xxi with Matrix injectors. The ECU is the same AEB one used among most multipoint systems though I think.

It all depends what system is fitted, some can some can't. It'll depend on how seriously low the petrol tank is though. My SE took 3 gallons to get the light to go out, and almost two gallons just to get the gauge needle to even reach the empty mark.

OMVL is AEB based as is Zavoli, Romano, Emer, Bigas, King and some Landi and Landi Renzo systems. So if it's got one of these, it should be capable of starting on gas.

It's a Zavoli Alesi sequential apparently
Good news is I've got a 5 gallon Jerry can. Bad news is it's only got around a gallon of petrol in it :)

Stick the petrol in it, you may as well give yourself two chances of starting :)
Exciting times!

Is it, for being so patient with him, too much to ask to deliver it the last 300 mtr aswell?

Can't fit transporter up the lane to my house, or if it made it up, you'd never be able to reverse it out again!

Amateurs..... You want to see some of the places I've managed to reverse a fully loaded trailer up to.

Apparently it's sleeping in a lay-by with the transporter driver at the moment.
If he's got to have his 11 hour rest period, should be back on the road sometime around 8, allegedly...

Perhaps I should write a book about how not to buy a car from beginning to end, except of course, the end isn't here yet.

No, it's sleeping in a layby with some other man!
