You very likely have a gas-start option. you may not know how... on my
lovato controller which I have on the ford, you have to hold a button[1]
pressed in while turning on the ignition, and wait for it to go
click-clunk
as it fires the gas system solenoids and shuts them again, then leave go
of
the button and it starts on gas. The same button, pressed when running,
switches between petrol and gas modes. in gas mode, it normally starts on
petrol and switches over at a preset revs. further sequences of turning
on
and off and pressing the button allow you to set the changeover point and
also to restore the factory default when you've got it wrong.

Boswell's "Johnson".

Tried this on my lovato switch, works ok, but the status led constantly
flashes red/green once the car's started, why? If I press the button, it
switches to petrol, press again & it switches back to lpg with no flashed
led.

Didn't get the original post but Jags have a nasty tendency to blow ballast
resistors

red-green flashing. is normal - it's to tell you that you've done it
"wrong"...
