Arrow Please help my Disco 1997

I bought my first 1997 disco and what an experience!! I had to change fuel pump as lady was nice to let me have it for little, I drove it for months on both unleaded and LPG it's great to save too! Whilst driving I keep hearing ticking noise on passenger side ( Australia ) left side passenger, one day I drove to my gate then turned it off to use keys and open the holy gate, hopped back started my disco but won't start on petrol, it never starts on LPG so I tried and tried until I realized it won't start I called RAC and they helped start it by a squirt of petrol in the air hose of injectors but switch it straight to LPG Gas since then I have to perform this every morning to start my car and bad luck if out shopping and decides not to start so here comes the injection, decided to fix it!! Replaced fuel pump, fuel filter, air filter, checked relays but not sure if correct!! No luck! Fuel gauge shows empty then rises again when it wants, when gauge is up I switch to petrol it works normal but drops later some time, gauge up and down when it feels like it even if fuel tank is full, gauge up pump works gauge down power dropped, LPG specialist checked all relays and its components and confirmed all good!! Checked fuses all good!! Parked the car about a month then later decided to start it (it worked first try) drove it for about a month like nothing is wrong with it not until I told my little secret pin dropped again to empty and now always on empty!! Not in the morning injection// during the day after i drove it for a while I try to start it I switch it to petrol and as it clicks to start I then must quickly switch it to LPG which tells me fuel pump is getting some power just not enough I guess !! Please help me spare some dollars I get sting by bees to earn!!

Re: bees - BBC had a report from US yesterday on a guy who was called to a cabin, and removed a 4 meter long hive, 15 pounds of bees, perhaps 60,000 individuals. Now that queen deserves a cheeseburger!

Petrol fuel pump will draw about 5 amps. Makes 32-34 PSI on the fuel injection rail on petrol model, unsure about LPG adapted. Petrol fuel pump runs for about 2 seconds at position 2 of iginition. The fuel tank sender is about 245 ohms low, and 19 ohms full. Bad senders are not unheard of.
