What is flattening my battery?

[Thepipdoc]

Are the solenoids activated by just having the power on, i suspect they wouldn't open until you turn the ignition on.

Checked with the people that fitted the system and it appears they are open when the ignition isn't on.
I've since rigged a meter between the batteries and it seems I'm loosing 0.75amps from somwhere and the solenoids seems to be favourite.
I guess I'll have to get used to turning off both batteries when not needed.

I think I would investigate further. 0.75 amps is a bit more of a drain than you want all the time.

prove or otherwise that it is the solenoids on the LPG installation

If you prove that it is the solenoids I think I would be asking why they are wired so that they are energised all the time. It seems unnecessary if not potentially dangerous.

They are going to shut when you switch the battery of so they might just as well shut when the ignition is switched off

I'd agree with all of those points. I would want the solenoids wiring so they are only open when the ignition is on.
