yeah shes freezing up mate... cutting off gas supply. Where are the convertors mounted?, its most likely to freeze while giving it a big hit or if you turn the car off after a long drive.

Gas is damn cold.. the more your using the colder the lines and associated parts will get..

define " heats up"! with gas you need to ensure you have a perfect cooling system, no leaks or blockages, as LPG needs the water to heat up as it is very cold out of the tank. also, convertors do get clogged up with crap, LPG does leave behind a residue, maybe worth getting a mechanic to take a look at your convertor?
