Bob, Yep, been in my 1600 for years and still works fine - the prototype cuts off the full pump in around 20 seconds - variable or a defender for tuning etc would have been nice but it's never been that big of a problem. Wiring it in with the particular immobiliser I use was initially a bit of a problem but we got it sorted out.

It was microcontroller driven so you could do some trickier things like have it run for x seconds when you first turned the ignition on then stop until the motor was turned over, run on for y seconds after a stall. If anyone out there wanted I could try to track down the code etc for it, but the LPG switch thing seems like an easier option. Out of curiosity Terry, is it still running/being used?
