howdy,
im going to be wiring up a trip computer in the next few weeks, but the question im asking is is it possible to have the trip computer wired up to the LPG gauge to show inst. consumption, avg consomption and range to empty? cheers.

not range to empty but i think the consumption is right, range to empty is based on how much fuel is in the tank. U might b able to set it up if u r good enough at electronic stuff

You will get all the petrol features if your gauge for the gas is wired to the cluster gauge and not the gas kit one.

i find the range to be so ridiculously inaccurate anyway, on both my EL ghia and my ED fairy

i have a seperate gas gauge, it sits in one of the little holes above the trip comp. slot, next to the rear window heater button.

If you get a new sender for the tank and get it wired via a change over relay to the gauge all should be good.

My Instant economy, Avg economy, Avg speed are all fairly accurate when running on LPG, but the range to empty reads on what's in the petrol tank, as i have a seperate lpg gauge mounted down near the console.
By fairly accurate, it's usually within 1ltr / 100kms on the Avg economy, worked out by the trip distance & how much fuel i pump back into the tank. I'm running a Parnell SVI Lpg Injection setup, with a seperate ECU for the lpg injectors. Cheers ToranaGuy

Then compare with the petrol sender resistance range.

I had an EF Fairmont with Tickford Gas & the Trip Computer didn't work for the Distance to Empty..

mine works fine for everything, although i was told that its not accurate as the density of gas is different to the density of fuel therefore 1L og gas doesnt equaly 1L of fuel or something??
