i change mine from gas to petrol while driving and don't have any problems. i was told not to change over under load because it will backfire. mine starts on petrol each time even if set on gas. i also run on petrol for around 10kms each time i run out of gas. this is also supposed to be the go to keep petrol system happy. i love my lpg saves me plenty, i had a crewman ss before (no lpg) and changed to ef fairy. Saves me plenty on fuel and is more useful (has a back seat that you can use) and soooo much nicer to drive  |

I do it all the time.
No probs.. The old systems with carbies needed to be run out between changeovers so the float bowl in the carbie was emptied |

| A lot of systems start on petrol and switch over to gas on their own. |

| I am pretty sure mine has a petrol start and then runs on gas, i always run it on petrol at least once every 45 days and keep 1/4 tank of fuel in the car all the time |

If you have a steel fuel tank (which AFAIK the sedans do not) always keep a full tank of petrol in there otherwise the tank will rust inside. |

| Hardly any problems either, have an EB I starts on both though needs to crank a few more times on gas to start. Also have to increase the RPM a lil bit when changing otherwise all good, save lots of $$$!! |

most lpg cars start on petrol run for about 2-6 seconds then change to lpg (aids starting) others change when you accelerate. I hear that vapour injection the engine has to warm up to a specific temp before it switches over.
there are many systems out there and they are all different.
Factory tickford systems start on petrol and change over virtually straight away. |

| Apparently ur sopposed 2 start on petrol to help lubrication for the head and keep fuel system up 2 scratch. I think the injection gas system automatically do that then they automatically change to gas??? |
