The problem is probably the LPG expansion cylinder - the gasket between the fuel and water tends to leak. We had ours replaced multiple times, but before that none of the mechanics knew what was wrong, they'd all only ever worked on petrol cars. Took thousands of dollars in useless replacement parts from Ford service places, before we took it to a taxi specialist, he knew the problem immediately.
It also had a sticky valve in it at some point, only way to get it to start was to pour boiling water over the cylinder; that freed it up. The taxi guy really had experience with these cars.
I reckon what happened is that it was some sort of computer issue, and sitting for 2.5 years with no power probably caused the computer to reset, and by extension fixed the problem.
Maybe one of the engine sensors? Our e46 did that "randomly shutting off" because a sensor in the camshaft sent a faulty distress signal. Let me tell ya, it ain't fun having the steering wheel locked up and the brakes unsupported when the engine shuts off at 180 kilometres per hour...

There was a bad batch of Gas 2 years ago. I work for a forklift company and we had terrible trouble with units not starting. We traced it to bad gas. We where replacing gas converters every 3 weeks and the converters where full of crap on the inside. A lot of LPG cars went up for sale at time with starting issues.
Could this crap somehow break down over time? was it like sludgy stuff? clogging Bruces injectors? I'm way too curious as to why Bruce sprang back to life...
You could still do the litre board calculations for Bruce. If you start at any given LPG station, drive to the normal start of the routes, drive the normal route, then drive back to the LPG station, you have how much fuel you used for the route plus the amount of fuel you used getting to and from the start of the route. Then refill Bruce, drive back to the start of the route and immediately back to the LPG station. That’ll get you how much fuel you used getting to and from the start of the route. Just subtract that from the total and you should have the amount of fuel you used on the route just like with every other car. It is more time and work, but it would let you put OG Bruce up on the board.
i absolutely love it when objects just... fix themselves. for no apparent reason. they just start working again and it makes you so happy because you had no hope for it but it just resurrects itself. i like to think that in moments like that the real magic of the universe presents itself. welcome back bruce!
@@crnobog I don't know, I have Fiat Barchetta with automatic system and it's working perfect on both LPG and benzine. It starts on benzine and after a few minutes of warming up, switches to LPG. You can also disable the LPG with a button and run on benzine. The switch between fuels is unnoticeable.
@@Raskolnikov1990 yeah, I have a Grande Punto with it and I barely notice the switch. Only if I am on low revs and the benzine pump turns off. Mine was made to be bifuel, this might have a higher compression to take advantage of the inherent high octane of LPG. That's my only concern.
3:56 We got a BA Falcon for free from our priest, he just gave it to us. It ran on both regular petrol AND LPG, plus it had a tow bar and towing suspension (Although I think we added that). Of course, my brother cut the springs and put holes in the exhaust when we gave it to him. He did end up fixing the exhaust as it was as loud as anything, as well as the suspension because a spring fell out of place randomly and he had to limp it back home. He also added a turbo to it, which we thought was illegal but the insurance company didn't care, so we're lucky I guess.
Double check your vacuum hoses. Had an xr8 dual fuel that wouldn't idle on LPG. Took it in for a service and mechanic found a few vacuum hoses that had come off.
@@InterceptorFFIn America, our default taxis (especially New York City taxis) were also Fords but were Crown Victoria's aka Crown Vics.

I have an 89 Dodge B250 Intervec Camper Van that I absolutely love. I drove it daily for a while two months before the starter kicked out and destroyed the ring gear on my torque converter. I might as well have chucked a grenade in the gearbox. I’m finally having it rebuilt and am so excited for the first drive after it sat for nearly a year.
Dude, kudos to you for keeping Bruce even after you've made it in life. Everyone has down periods in life, but not all of us are keen in keeping their four wheeled buddies when everything finally goes well. Keep him til it cannot pass inspections anymore. He deserves a good home.
Bruce 1.0 pulling out the self-revive reminds me of my dads old Hiace, which despite sitting derelict in the driveway for some seven-odd years before being sold for scrap, would still start pretty much first turn every time we needed it. Single most reliable vehicle Ive ever known.
It's good to see Bruce come back. I've got the same year model of BA, but in sedan format. Petrol engine instead of gas. It's had some problems (I've had to replace the water pump, the power steering pipes, the brake discs TWICE, the heater doesn't work) but I love my Birdie. She just soldiers on and has thus far always got me back home.
When i worked for the towing company a flatbed with 768,000 miles. Or for the french measurement users: 1,235,976 kilometers. Long live the Isuzu H6 diesel Inline 6
Might wanna get an adapter hose for filling it off of 20 liter grill bottles, yea the upcharge on tank-exchange grill gas vs point-of-service refills of road gas is extortionate but it'll get you some extra bit of range to go find somewhere to fill it properly at. All you gotta do to use a grill tank is turn it upside down, motor-fuel LPG tanks are liquid-discharge but consumer LPG tanks are gas discharge, saw a guy blow his grill up one time trying to use a forklift LPG keg on a barbecue grill cause he didn't know he needed to flip it over.

I have a Bruce. A hail storm wrote off my work vehicle in 2010 and I lost everything. I bought a 'Bruce' for $15k with the hope of earning money again. it ended up one of my biggest regrets since it was 'shockwave' metallic blue that had a factory flaw where all the paint peeled off. Also down on power when I bought it, also the trans failed twice. so home resprays, trans rebuild, cat blocked etc. I had owned falcons before but the BA ute with fibreglass canopy - my Bruce - sucked hard, was worse than any EB, ED, EL sedan I had. I still have the piece of crap BA ute with patched up and bad paint, faded fibreglass. Only 145k kms on it because it spent so much time off the road. It did about 13l/100km in suburban environment. Interestingly I also watched your prado fuel review. I was going to change to one but I ended up buying a 3L patrol instead. So far that is now my daily driver and that's averaging 13l/100km though I know they don't have a good engine reliability reputation, but still, I need to offload my BA falcon ute I think. It's a POS, but it's a 1 tonner and only 145k kms. Edit: Also have to add I'm an old aussie bloke (late 40s) and no longer live with my 12 y/o son but when I picked him up from school last week I brought up YT and dankpods and garbage time. My kid knew what I was talking about and we could discuss it :) .

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS! BRUCE, YOU’VE RETURNED! :D The great nugget shepherd is here for us. And the fact he just came back with nothing done to it feels like the most ol’ reliable Bruce thing ever.
me dad used to own a 2004 falcon ute, and we loved that thing, especially the aircon. mate, it takes under 10 seconds to cool the cabin thats been in the sun for hours 😂
That's right, the best aircon control in a car is one that you don't have to look at several times while driving to know what you're doing. Especially in cars where it is already made on the display with buttons and then mounted low, sometimes literally behind the gear stick, like conventional knobs.
James starting Bruce after 2 years, is just like when you call your dad over for a problem you have been messing with for hours and magically the problem goes away the second your dad looks at it.
the 4.0 Barra is essentially the smaller DOHC version of Ford USA's legendary 300 ci (about 5 liters) inline 6 that was used in many of their gasoline trucks from the time that dinosaurs roamed the Earth all the way into the 90's. Both have legendary reliability, both make decent power, and both seem rather easy to maintain.
Having driven a Ford Courier that does not have a tiny window behind the door I can say the tiny window is actually useful for checking your blind spots. I kept looking at the roof lining every time I changed lanes
electronics do this to me a lot. they don't work and then i leave them alone for a bit and they are suddenly revived. i love when electronic or mechanical stuff does unexpected shit and lives it's own life.
Bruce really just needed some vacation time to decompress and heal up, that's like when you get a real bad bruise and you need to leave for a while, and once it's healed it healed
the moment i saw this notification i thought to myself "what if it just worked after nothing being done to it. that would be so on brand" AND I WAS RIGHT
The trick is getting roadside assist, they will tow you to the nearest servo with LPG if you run out. or buy a dodgy POL to ACME adaptors that you can use to fill up the car from a swap and go bottle

i have my 2002 wrx with 451,000km now, ive had the car since 2013 and i been to hell and back with it so i know how its like having a car for a long time. Ive went through tough times and all but sadly its rusting away because of canaidan winters but still driving it to this day 11 years later
I used to work in a gas yard and there's fittings you can buy to fill your car from a forklift 15l cylinder so you can pretty much fill up anywhere that fills forklift/BBQ cylinders
My grandpa used to own a Mondeo 1.8 from 2001 and I drove that for the first year of having my license. Such a big boaty car with surprisingly lots of power all through the rev range. Used it as a long drive cruiser to get to rallyes with 4 people in it and it smashed a mindboggling 240km/h on the Autobahn, completely stuffed to the brim! It had a massive exhaust leak in the last year of it's life, made it even more fun the few times I drove it :)
The only thing I think could have caused Bruce to sort die was something in the engine got clogged killing the cylinders or spark plug problems, so at some point you might want to check those, but keep up the great video man 👍
A cousin i live with has a ba wagon, and its one of the best cars we own, it has 401k kms on it and is being driven over 100ks a day for work and weve even been using it for moving houses, we fit couches and massive flatscreens and full recliners in the back of it, bloody awesome cars

Get a fuel tank, fill hose, find an lpg gas mechanic and ask for an automatic lpg/benzine system. This way you have a bi-fuel car.

i have my 2002 wrx with 451,000km now, ive had the car since 2013 and i been to hell and back with it so i know how its like having a car for a long time. Ive went through tough times and all but sadly its rusting away because of canaidan winters but still driving it to this day 11 years later
If i ever got a car, i would want something like bruce

We got Bruce self resurrecting before gta 6
My grandpa used to own a Mondeo 1.8 from 2001 and I drove that for the first year of having my license. Such a big boaty car with surprisingly lots of power all through the rev range.
Used it as a long drive cruiser to get to rallyes with 4 people in it and it smashed a mindboggling 240km/h on the Autobahn, completely stuffed to the brim!
It had a massive exhaust leak in the last year of it's life, made it even more fun the few times I drove it :)
Bruce just needed a nap. I always feel better after a long nap.
The only thing I think could have caused Bruce to sort die was something in the engine got clogged killing the cylinders or spark plug problems, so at some point you might want to check those, but keep up the great video man 👍
Built Ford Tough, revived by James. Everyone needs a James.
A cousin i live with has a ba wagon, and its one of the best cars we own, it has 401k kms on it and is being driven over 100ks a day for work and weve even been using it for moving houses, we fit couches and massive flatscreens and full recliners in the back of it, bloody awesome cars
