There switch which turns the lpg solenoid and tank solenoid on has a few wires going to it...

12 V +
Ground
Solenoid
Neg Coil.

The first three are easy, const power, earth, and power out to the solenoid to open it up and let the gas flow.

Problem i have is i dont know where to find a 'neg coil' source. The coil pack on a vl isnt like an old carby style coil with a big + and - terminal, so where else would i find a negative coil line source?

get a workshop manual, find which wire on the coil is the negative one and tap into it

the basic design is the same as older style coils its just been made more compact

There is a test wire hanging just behind the altinator, brown with a red stripe!

If you cant see it strip the loom back a bit and tap into it!
