Default heres one for ya guys any one know

Ok i got one for ya guys i herd that when my truck is idleing that the vp shuts off and only uses what fuel the lp pushes. Ok if thats true my truck now idles right inbetween maybe a tad less than 900 and a grand if i was to turn down my raptor 150 would that idle settle down to 900 or a little less

I wouldn't think that the lp has enough pressure to fire the injector or know which injector to fire.

It should take 4500psi for the injectors to pop. Im pretty sure that isnt going to happen from a lift pump.
