1999 VT Dual fuel petrol problems

[holycow96]

I recently bought a 1999 VT Dual fuel commodore. The car starts and runs fine on gas but when switched to petrol it just dies. Does anyone have any suggestions to get the petrol going?

Most likely the fuel pumps dead in the tank, filters blocked, hose has perished etc.

When people run 99% of the time on LPG the petrol stuff tends to get neglected and things start failing.

This is why people shouldn't use BBQ gas in cars

Hi
Why did it need a new memcal?
I'm just curious?

Whoever owned it before me must've done something. Had to get the vats removed
