We tried to bypass it and also replace it, but still could not get any power to the glow plug/ filter lights on the dash, which we assume the stop soliniod on the pump is on the same ...

Hey there, like loanrangie said the goo is just a build up of crap from the gas. No not flammable. Personaly I would pull the cover of your converter and clean the diaghram, do the same with your mixer (guessing it would be an impco 225) it can play a little with your gas adjustments.

I would have to say yes there is a differance in lpg at differant
servo`s. Like mentioned earlier depends on mixture of propane/butane.

Sometimes I find it alters the idle mixture, rough idle/hard starting, although not as noticable in higher revs.
Then next fill up might be all ok.

Im no guru painter, but have done a few cars in the past, I would say do all ur repairs lightly rub whole car back (no need to go back to original paint) then use primer/filler.
That then isolates paintwork underneath, then do ur top coat.
Thats worked 4 me in the past, hope it helps you out a little.

Dont no if its any help but on many occasions ive put 2 pack clear
over the top of ordinary quick dry enamel, and that works a treat.
they are smaller items than a car, but principal is the same.
