The fuel system is switched from L.P. to petrol by use of a solenoid.
The soleniod is operated by a relay.
The relay is electrically protected by a fuse.
Check all 3 starting with the fuse and checking back.
Please let me know what you find.

Testimonial: "It turn out to be a filter apparently,it does seem to have a little more power now. but thank you for your comment. Regards Tony "

Holden statesdman 1994 VR It is on PETROL AND GAS will start on petrol but keeps stalling when switched over to gas is good

I assume this is dual fuel.... LPG and gasoline??????? Is cooling system full? If so, probably plugged filter on LPG convertor. If you are not knowledgeable with LPG, get someone who is. LPG is highly explosive.

Why is my LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER 4.0SE AUTO PETROL/ LPG GAS

Because a previous owner (or the dealer) wanted the lower cost of running on LPG using a dual fuel system so petrol (gasoline) could be used too. If the work was done professionally it provides the best of both but the downside is the reduction of usable space in the load space. You will find more about this in the "articles" page at http://www.graemecooper.com.au

Car wont run on petrol but ok on LPG

Hi dave hill, not really sure on your problem but I have a VN commodore that I purchased that had the fuel pump crook and did the same thing of not starting on petrol. Owner said to hold in lpg button when starting . I got the fuel pump replaced. Mechanic said it was caused by not running petrol through enough and running always on LPG.

Im wanting to convert my 2002 V6 2.0 X type to lpg,but have been given lots of different stories regarding Valve seat recession.Anybody help?

You have been given false information, in old cars that were not designed to run on unleaded fuel then yes, but your car was designed to run specifically on unleaded fuel and will run just fine and even more emmisions free on LPG gas, the only draw back to LPG is the size and location of the fuel tank required to use LPG as your exclusive source of fuel. being that it is a car you will looses storage space in your trunk area and the oter draw back depending on where you live is availability of filling staations... but absolutely no internal engine concerns.

X type converted to LPG. It runs OK on LPG but not petrol

areas to check are the fuel pressures, fuel hoses, fuel crossover solenoid
It indicates that the ECM is receiving the correct information from the sensors to adjust for LPG but when crossed over to petrol signals from sensors are not as clear as they should be
This can be from a power drain to components caused by a faulty solenoid or relay that is reducing the voltage available to the sensors ( normally in the air intake system or the heated oxygen sensor in the exhaust manifold )
check all harness connections and wiring
if you are checking it all your self then a workshop manual that has all of the voltages for each sensor would provide help
