2008 VE Omega Dual Fuel
Hi Guys, I am hoping someone can offer me some advice, once the car warms up it switches over to LPG and then dies, the car was running fine, the tank was very low, I parked, then came back to the car and found it would not run on LPG after that and assumed the tank was empty. I filled up and once the car is warm and it switches over, the car dies. Would anyone know if there is a fuse or link I need to check somewhere?

Thanks in Advace.

Have the LPG liquid gas filter checked/replaced as they get blocked and thus stop gas flow…

I had this problem recently. It turned out to be the relay which is attached to the windscreen washer filler (with the blue lid). Replace the relay before you take it into workshop. Check this link out

Be aware this VE Commodore V6 lockoff valve (liquid) is not the normal MED one that has been around for years.
The filter & O rings are completely different, the VE lockoff is a high flow Impco BRC model & the filter/ repair kit with O rings (part No 04RE00100005) is for an ET98 version

I have the same problem. Did you end up sorting it out?
HI mate I did sort it out with the mechanic sorr yI didnt get back to here until now, they fixed it and I had forgotten about having this problem previously until now haha omg it was only last year as well lol it must have been a very minor repair or I would remember.
