Citroen C2 by Loeb 16 16V VTS - Citroen C2 - Teleflex GFI -> LPG Ignition problem - herbieflower

If you could help me with this problem or if you could give me a hint on this...

a question regarding the Teleflex GFI - LPG systems. I'm unable to find the main site (help#1).

The problem is, that I have installed their system (4 cylinder Teleflex.GFI) in my Citroen C2 by Loeb (1.6 16v 2007) on july last year (2009). Suddenly my car is igniting very hard - it takes about 5 seconds until it starts. That happens everytime i shut down a car.

The guy who installed it says that there could be a leak and he is postponing the service since this August on. He always finds an excuse and says that we will work it out... but until now he has done nothing about it and I'm afraid that a starter will die or any other malfunction would occur.

But if I change to gasoline before shuting the car down - the car ignites instantly when trying to start it up again.

there are about 15.000 - 20.000 km driven with this system and 20k km service done.

please if you can help me, otherways just reply that you can't so I will find help elsewhere.

I'm just posting b/c I solved the problem. It's the membrane in the vapourizer - it has 1 year guarantee and it lasted a little bit over one year - mechanic knew but didn't want it to go under the guarantee. So you should definately check the install date in your car.

cheers!
