Yep and the opposite is also true, most electrical issues are the fuel system.
Just last week a mate who has an old Toyota Landcruiser running duel fuel ( both petrol and lpg)
As most folks running duel fuel it spends most of the time on lpg.
He’d Ben having problems with it intermittently running like a hairy goat, he was utterly convinced it was something in the ignition system…. He replaced plugs, points, leads, condenser, rotor button and dizzy cap
All to no avail, he was about to start looking at things like wiring, ignition switch etc. Even the head gasket was under suspicion, this last theory was dismissed with compression and coolant system pressure tests.
I asked him to humour me and run it on petrol…..lo and behold! The thing ran as smooth as a dozen bottles of beer!
The problem was a loose hose clamp on the gas hose running from the converter to the mixer.
