Gas trips up computer

AFTER reading your advice to contact Apollo Gas to ask why the trip computer no longer works on my Toyota Avalon since I fitted it with dual-fuel, I was told by the company that Toyota actually mentions the issue in its LPG manual. Unfortunately I have never sighted such a manual. But I was told that only the clock, over-speed warning and distance-to-destination functions still work with LPG. The other functions don't. I thought this might be of use to other readers thinking of converting to LPG.

WE HAVE also heard from other readers and Toyota is not alone here. The trip computer needs the fuel metering input to work, and of course that isn't operable when the engine is running on LPG. The trip computer should still work normally when the engine is running on petrol.
