When I install the new one, I will do that. I am concerned that it may trigger something in the ECM but we'll see.

When I spoke to an LPG installer about this I was told the pump needs to keep running to cool the fuel rail. Also something about fuel going stale or gumming up?Quote:

Thanks

not so much gumming up but cooking the addatives into the fuel rail. When you restart the pump fresh fuel comes in and will generally wash them away. When this happens you cant guarentee that the left over bits will mix cleanly which means you might get some crud in a jelly state entering the injector causing problems...
IMHO I agree with leaving the pump running when on LPG but dont think that it needs to be on full steam as all its doing is flowing fuel around to stop it from being cooked into the main supply rail. The downside to that is the pressure regulator which needs to be opened up by fuel pressure to get the fuel to return to the tank which means the pump needs to be on full steam... Hrm bit of a catch 22..
and no turning off the pump and running the engine till the fuel is used up(like you do on a carby lpg duel fueler) wont work as the injectors rely on the fuel pressure to squirt it out, once the pump is off the pressure drops very quickly and leaves a lot of residual fuel in the rail and since its not under any pressure will cook even quicker than if you just turn the pump off and then turn over to lpg...
