Factory fitted LPG Switch Location

[antelopeslr5000]

Hi all,

Just wondering where the LPG switch is located on factory fitted LPG VT/VX's. Is it next to the driving light switch on the dash surround?

A picture of its position would be great!

Thanks.

There were two kinds of factory LPG switches available on the VT/VX. Both are momentary on/off switches and are illuminated at night (off the park lamp circuit).

The first switch is oval shaped on the horizontal axis (i.e. same as the hazard switch - see pic) and goes under the trip computer switches. I believe this was called the "accessory fitted LPG" option or similar. A cut out is made in the plastic dash surround and a plastic bezel fitted, exactly the same as the fog light switch. The face of this LPG switch also slopes toward the driver.

The second switch is also oval shaped but on the vertical axis (i.e. same as the PWR switch) and goes to the left of the T-Bar in the PRND321 trim cover (on the VT Acclaim, Calais and some others the traction control switch goes there). I believe this was called the "factory fitted LPG" option or similar. The face of this LPG switch is flat.

If your car has traction control and LPG (like mine does) one option is to get a V2 Monaro CV8 auto (series 1) dash surround, which has the traction control switch fitted to the left of the fog light switch. Then you could put an LPG switch where the old traction control switch was (if that makes sense). The only thing is the Monaro dash surrounds are expensive and come in "piano black" (gloss black) only. I use an after market LPG gauge/switch combination on mine. Because it's vapour injection and not the old-school mixer setup, my traction control is always connected (on mixer setups it is disabled when running in LPG mode). Anyway i digress.

Sorry but i don't have any other LPG switch pics.

Hi,

You apparently have your cluster fuel guage show the LPG level.

My system has a small round switch cum guage (four green lights and a red one) to show the LPG level.

Do you know how I can change the cluster to show the LPG level?

A how-to guide would be very useful.

Cheers,
