xantia fuel consumption

Post by Goran »

Hi i have Xantia 1.8i 8v with 101 hp, from 1998 year. I run it on LPG (Liquefied petroleum gas). LPG system i got installed is AC Stag 200.
At first my fuel consumption in city conditions was around 10 liters of petrol, or 12-13 liters of LPG per 100 km. But after some time petrol consumption went up to 12 liters and LPG to 15-16 liter per 100 km.
My question here is: did anyone had some similar experience with increased fuel consumption, and does anyone have some ideas what could be the problem in my case.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Reduced compression from eroded exhaust valves/seats? It is known for LPG cars to suffer in this way.

A compression test should show the problem.
