Don't forget the basics of LPG when fiddling with the system, undoing hoses and removing electrical connections.
1. LPG is under pressure and a liquid in a tank, but becomes a vapour when the pressure is removed (such as venting to the air).
2. Vapour is dreadful stuff, it carries for long distances and will ignite by any spark source - such as electric motors, fridge and HWS pilot lights, etc, etc.
Make sure ALL potential sources of gas ignition are removed from within 50 metres of your work area, or you have removed the vehicle 50 metres from sources of ignition.
Don't even think about using jumper leads in areas where LPG is being worked on.
3. Remember LPG is heavier than air, and settles and collects in low spots in still air. Thus the reason why LPG installers don't use mechanics pits.
4. Your very first step in any LPG work, must always be disconnection of the vehicle battery.
