I built an electronic controller that supplied 10 % LPG thruout the entire operating range except idle.
Are you still running the audi on lpg?

Do you mind sharing the electronic controller you built?

What happened if you supplied more than 10% lpg?

Is that 10% of the fuel used? If yes how didn't you know how much fuel will the engine consume at a certain range?

Thanks!
