    you should try it stationary just to see how the change goes.
    i have no issues with the ZL when changing stationary but its handy to know.
    it makes no difference to the system if you change it stationary or moving.
    i usually change mine moving though.
    foot off accelerator - flick the switch - wait a couple of seconds- continue as you were.

    I change mine stationary. People say you should do it stationary before you start engine because the colder petrol will crack something, others say moving and people I bought car did it moving but you need high revs on mine going above 80 lol.

    Just back off the accelerator when moving and click it over if you cant be stuffed stopping.

    Every gas system on different cars will perform differently to each other but in my experience it is just as easy to do it stationary as it is moving, usually at around 2000 revs. Just try both methods and see what works best for you.

    if moving or stationary i was told by LPG man when i got it done that do it around 1500rpm, gas to petrol is a bit funny sometime but petrol to gas is smooth

    It doesn't really matter which way you do it, as long as it doesn't stall, cos then its just a pain in the arse.
