    Help!

    Ive been using LPG for 5 or so months straight, didnt use the gasoline

    Now when I tried gasoline it will not start at all. (the Gaso tank has been empty for a few months before i filled it again)

    The mechanic said, goodbye fuel pump and nozzles; but new ones

    Is there any ideas from you folks?

    thank you

    You can replace the busted fuel pump motor with a replacement motor.

    And then add a relay to disable the motor whenever you are using LPG.

    1. Are you saying the Fuel pump gets broken that way and is now actually broken?

    2. adding a relay?

    3. That will cost me something like P5,000? in all?

    if I had known.............

    Using your car with a dry gasoline tank and running fuelpump motor will lead to premature pump failure for sure. Adding a relay (greenfuel can do it if you had your system installed by them) will prevent this from happening.

    Actually that point already has been mentioned over and over again in the main auto-lpg thread. Keep some gasoline in your tank to prevent premature fuel pump failure.
