Good morning guys.
I have a Land rover discovery 2.0 mpi which has been converted to LPG. It runs fine on petrol but it is hesitant below 2000 rpm on gas, and also when you put it under full load. It runs fine on petrol.
Any idea's what it could be? I know nothing about LPG cars.

Ideally should be serviced every 12k or so, depending on the system could have one or two filters at least, as as already pointed out gas can be quite dirty.
On my old LPG car, I would pull the pipes to between the vaporiser, and manifold, inc control valve and clean with carburettor/injection cleaner every few months or so. It certainly helped the issues I had on that car, poor idling/cutting out.
I would suggest a quick look on LPG Forum to, quite a lot of helpful stuff on there.

Dirty gas.
I had mine done every six months on my old gas Land Rover.
Made a big difference.
Not sure on what closed loop is.
Are there pipes into each of the four cylinders?
Or one into the air box?
There is a bank of four going into the cylinders yes (one for each one I assume). It doesnt have a airbox, but a poxy KnN. Im tempted to buy an original air box.I had mine done every six months on my old gas Land Rover.

I took the air flow meter out and plugs out, cleaned them up and now it runs worse.

The filter should be easy to spot in the line.
Still advise to change.
Maybe HT leads too?
I couldn't get it off when I tried. I didn't want to cut the lines going to it as I don't have a replacement to hand. I keep working to late and not getting the filer like I promise myself. Still advise to change.

In the morning, Im going to have a look at the plugs again to see what colour they are to give me some indication of what is going on. Last time they were all different. 2 + 4 looked 'iced' over?

Closed loop - so that means single point? It was fitted 13k miles ago. Having done a bit of google time, would you think it would need a new filter after that many miles?
you are running two fuel systems the LPG needs servicing justr like your petrol - when was it last serviced. Probably fuel filterGassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
