Peugeot 305 GL LPG unit removal

Post by kelumpj »

Hi, I recently bought an old Peugeot 305 GL and it has few issues I want your help with.

01. The engine bay is filled and cluttered with hoses of the LPG unit. I see hoses running into inlet manifold and some to the carb. Yesterday I tried to remove some of the hoses of LPG Vaporizer unit and there was coolent coming out from it, I refitted the hose and I wanna remove all the items of gas unit as I dont wish to use it. I wanna keep this car running entirely on petrol. These parts and hoses of LPG unit kinda getting in the way when I want to check the engine and its very confusing. And having this unit is an additional weight.

How can I remove all these parts? how can I identify them? I can post pics of the entire engine bay or how many different hoses of LPG unit connect to different places. Someone pls help me.

02. The car is very sluggish to start. I cranked with the carb petrol feed line removed and it doesnt pump petrol. However, with the carb feed petrol line connected to carb and if I pour some petrol in to the carb, car starts. But the start doesnt hold on always. If I rev the engine it stops, Sometimes it revs very well. So I am very much sure that the petrol pump not working properly. It works at times and goes dead sometimes so I cannot start at all..

Sometimes after pouring petrol into carb, the at low revs the engine tries to stop but if you increase revs or accelerate, engine goes running very well. Just like the low pressure or whatsoever applied to pump isnt enough at low revs and it gets adequate at high revs.
Sometimes I may be able to fix the existing pump but I bought a new French pump anyways. I want a trouble free continuous flow of petrol into carb.

The issue is, all these LPG hoses, brake oil servo at right side do not allow me to reach the fuel pump..

I need your expert views on these.. Thanks! :P
