Technical gAS PROBLEM

[Chrisarvor]

Hi
My Multipla gas system is the dual fuel factory fitted 2002 car
i filled up the tank drove down the road and the gas stopped working?????
never had aproblem with the driving on gas sometime juddered but always ok
Where is the fuse anybody know
the nearest place for a diagnostic check for me is 3 hours away!!
i live in Bulgaria ,but gas is so popular here
also the switch to turn petrol or gas on ,i have noticed the light on the petrol gauge stay on whether on gas on petrol setting
so any advice please

When was the LPG system last serviced? Interesting its popular there but nearest service place is 3 hours away

Need to start with a good LPG system service if its not been done in the last 12 months.

The nearest diagnostic place is 3 hours away
Why would it just stop?? That doesn't make sense does it ??
Is there a fuse just for the gas system ?

It makes perfect sense if its not been serviced, could be as simple as a blocked filter etc

 

[Chrisarvor]

are the filters inside the gas tank???
thanks for your help

Should be one in the regulator normally and another inline somewhere just before the injectors

thanks again
Have you ever seen the factory installation on a Mulitpla ??
there seems to very little thats accesable

The Bipower and Blupower versions of the Multipla were never sold in the UK, so you won't find much on this forum about them.
That's a shame, as (from what little I've seen) they are neat installations and make good use of the Multiplas raised floor. The same applies to the hybrid version, which was well ahead of its time. Did Fiat ever market it though?

 

[Chrisarvor]

yes its very neat and you still have the big boot space
but to get anyone to look at it here is a pain and there are loads of gas places as its a cheap fuel
but i cant find a plan of the gas or find out even if there is a fuse in one of the fuse boxes

Just had a bit of a websearch with google translate. I haven't read it all (it's an extremely long thread) but there may be something of interest here:

There's a post by "robygavi" about half way down that mentions a fuse for the solenoid valve but unfortunately he doesn't say where it is. Loads of people gatecrash the thread with unrelated problems, which doesn't make it easy to follow.

As an aside, I used "Fiat Multipla" and "scatola dei fusibili" (Italian for fuse box) as combined search terms.

Edtit: Further down, look for a post by "Solenoid", Monday July 7th 2014. He gives a description of the fuse locations.
