Angry S80 bifuel - now refuses to run on LPG

Hi, I am new to this forum and apologise if my problem is common and well known.
I bought this 2004 high mileage S80 automatic in February, it has run fine up until now on both petrol and LPG, apart from an intermitent report that the antiskid device needs servicing (any advice on this gladly received).

Last weekend I drove 300 mile to Cornwall, may have run the LPG a little low, when it decided to stop switching over to LPG. I have tried several times to switch it over manually but there is a total loss of fuel and hence power when I do. Runs fine on petrol. I did get a brief indication of things to come when it first refused, but a stop turn off and start again was successful just once, and a few strange change up or change down messages. But now no sign of LPG life at all

Any ideas or pointers please. I am hoping to be pointed to an economical way out of the problem, I am a reasonable mechanic prepared to undertake most things, so happy to follow a sound direction.
