Unfortunately my joy of finally having a sound and good running LPG fueled car didn't last long. Under heavy loads I begun to notice choking of the engine. Concerned that any permanent damage might occur to it, I took it to another expert to have a check up. How surprised weren't both of us when after looking under the bonnet and unscrewing the air filter, we didn't see any BRC injectors but ones of different make and quality!
These aren't BRC injectors, these are made by "Hana"! Furthermore, they are the incorrect model for my type of car, I have a 1.4L engine but these are made for cars top of 2L and they have a different resistance rate (1.9Ohms instead of BRC's 2.1 Ohms). The vaporizer isn't BRC either! Nor are any of the other components installed besides the BRC ECU. Now I am not only frustrated by lack of seriousness, but also victim of a fraud!
The BRC representative contacted by the other garage wasn't happy to hear that some companies are supposedly selling BRC sequential systems but installing different makes! In addition to this, a "check engine" fault appeared when joining a motorway on an uphill on ramp, forcing me to drive home 3 miles very carefully, not passing 50mph. The AA serviceman diagnosed the fault as "P1171" meaning something related to exhaust gases, crankshaft sensor or faulty communication with the car's ECU. He recommended not driving on LPG until the problem is sorted but said on petrol I am not risking my engine's health. I will definitely have somebody sort this out ASAP and send the bill to the Autogas experts, unless BRC or somebody else in this chain of events comes up with another solution.
