Too much Gas?

We have had the dreaded Tar issue with all our 8FGF Toyotas, We have fitted new Diaphragm (Non Genuine) kits in the Regulator and replaced the Gas valve. All tucks are struggling to start in the morning unless i pull the pipe off as it enters the mixer and dilute the Mix, Once its started and running it runs fine all day.

Many Thanks
I ended up fitting complete new regulator and all have been fine since.
We are still getting the TAR build up. :(

Yeah man those tvh reg kits aren't very good I'm afraid.

Throw a new reg at it and she'll be right.

Your LPG is bleeding into the engine while standing so your flooding it on initial start up.

Easy way to test this theory is to leave truck running and turn off your gas bottle until it stops then turn the ignition off.

Try it again next morning after you turn the bottle back on, odds are it'll start fine.

That little arm inside the reg gets bent and doesn't want to seal on the chamber port so the gas just weeps through.
