+12V to Injectors Terminal 

Connect this terminal to the wire that leads directly to the Fuel Injectors. The internal relay is  rated 
at 10 amps and this should not be exceeded. The FP50 uses a normally closed relay to operate 
the vehicle’s injectors. If power to the FP50 is interrupted, the vehicle should default to petrol 
operation. 

 
OPERATION & ADJUSTMENTS 

 

Green light – ACCEL TPS SET 

The green ACCEL TPS SET light performs two functions; 

A. 

TPS SET Function FP50-DC & FP50-AC

 - When the vehicle’s Throttle Position Sensor 

(TPS) voltage is 

below

 the TPS/RPM SET potentiometer setting, the TPS SET light will 

flash quickly (refer to the Adjustments & Tuning section). The vehicle is prevented from 
changing over from petrol to gas when this light flashes quickly. When the accelerator is 
held (steady) above the TPS SET position, the green light should remain off. 

B. 

TPS SET Function FP50-DS-SS 

- When the vehicle’s incoming Throttle Position Sensor 

(TPS) voltage is 

below

 the TPS/RPM SET potentiometer setting, the green TPS SET light 

will flash quickly. This indicates that the CV30/CE30 stepper valve is being help open (ie the 
processor is in Open Loop mode). 

C. 

ACCEL Function

 - The green TPS SET light should come on when the accelerator is 

depressed quickly. This indicates an increasing load condition to the processor. The 
processor will now open the CV30/CE30 valve at a much faster rate to ensure adequate fuel 
is delivered to the engine during acceleration. The green light will stay on for varying times 
depending on how far and how fast the accelerator is depressed. It should however, go off 
within 5 seconds after depressing the accelerator. 

 
Lean & Rich Orange Lights 

The left orange Lean light indicates when the engine is 

running Lean

 (ie not enough gas). The 

right orange Rich light indicates when the engine is 

running Rich

 (ie too much gas). As long as 

the gas mechanical delivery components (the convertor, vapor hose and mixer) can deliver 
sufficient gas to the engine, these lights should flicker constantly (when the engine is above idle) 
between rich and lean. This indicates that the Lambda (or stoichiometric) region is being 
maintained. The exception to this is if the green acceleration light is on (in which case the rich light 
should also remain on) and on the FP50-DS-SS model when Open Loop at idle is chosen. 
 

Gas Light 

The green Gas light comes on when the vehicle is operating on Gas (LPG-CNG).  
 

Petrol Light

 

The red Petrol light comes on when the vehicle is operating on Petrol. 

 

ADJUSTMENTS & TUNING THE GASTEC FP50 FUEL PROCESSOR 
 

Note that clear (see-through) CV30/CE30 stepper valve cups are available so that 
you can visually check the operation of the FP50 stepper valve. 

 
1. Ensure that the CV30/CE30 stepper valve is fully open and its associated loom is 

not

 currently 

connected to the FP50. 

The stepper valve must not be connected until the initial setup 

procedures below have been completed. 

 
2. Turn on the ignition but 

do not start the engine

. Ensure that the gas/petrol 

switch is in the 

gas position
