I would have thought that running LPG all the time would casue the lambda sensor to give false readings ....do you ever run it on petrol for a day or so ??

According to websites, you need to use injector cleaner in the fuel and use the treated petrol until the engine is warmed up. (sort of hidden cost if you like)......Then it's safe to switch over to lpg...

but i'm with Fraz... I'd be tempted to use petrol every week or so...
