Yes

Mostly the vapouriser - clean, drain the heavy ends out etc
Check for leaks
Check its still tuned properly
Replace filter (if it has one)

I'm sure some others can add some more

I'm sure some others can add some more

not much. Stepper motors and lambda sensors on closed loop systems, and
injectors on SGI. but there's not much you can do about any of those, and
faults in them are likely to present obvious symptoms.

Filter may be incorporated into solenoid. Watch out for O rings dropping
out when you unscrew it.

There may be a fuel filter in the tank also.

5 years - replace all flexible hoses.
Visual inspection of all fittings and fuel lines every 5 years.
Tanks have to be re-pressure tested at 15 years.
The 80% stop fill should be checked every time the tank is emptied.

Interesting one this, how do you adjust that apart from filling the tank
with something other than LPG that will still be there when you take the
filler out. When I put the current tank in my car the company I bought it
off didn't have the correct valve so I had to extend the rod on the float
and the pick up pipe. The calculations to work it out were goddam awful and
I didnt get it exact as it holds 67 litres now.
