Hi There,

I have a HFS-3 fitted to a turbo rotary that runs on lpg, i purchased the system way back in 2010 from Howerton engineering when they were first released, S/N 10004 anyway i fitted it to the car and all was good, for the last year or so i have had my boost turned right down and therefore the HFS-3 hasn't been trigered, though i have recently turned the boost back up and the hfs-3 has been spraying (did the windscreen test) but the low water led was coming on, i thought the failsafe was being triggered even though i don't have the solonoid setup. I followed the details on http://howertonengineering.com/tech-info/setting-the-dds3-failsafe/ but i found when i have the system jumped so it is flowing at 100% no matter where i have the SC pot set, i can't get any bars to light up, and the yellow light is on. I tried disconecting the water level sesnsor in the tank but it didn't make a difference. The S lights up to indicate that there is a flow sensor. Any thoughts on the topic would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance

cheers

There might be some debris lodged inside the flow sensor stop the turbine from spinning. Can you disassemble the sensor and give it a good clean. You need a 1/4" flat blade screw driver. Don't force it if one end of the turbine holder is too tight.
