mine is the older omvl system, and its never backfired, ever! And i have covered over 60 thousand miles on lpg.....
my gauge is pretty good, considering some of the posts here......
50 miles a light mostly, i start looking to refill when i have got one green left, but if the red comes on i have 30-50 miles left, and only once has it run out before i got to the red light, and i put that down to temperature and hills........ ( and i hadnt got any petrol then !!)
the gauges are never going to be as readable as a old fashioned needle gauge, but thats the nature of the beast.......

hmmmm.. so my lights do the opposite! I wonder if it's possible something is in the wrong way round?
When you bring it back for its 1st service I'll check the programming on the control, until then just ignorte it and do it on your mileage.

I use the odometer method, reset when filling, get 210 - 230 miles per tank depending on useage - that's one thing about gas it seems to be less useage type dependent than petrol, so lots of round town milage is not much worse than long run mileage, whereas petrol is 15-20% variance depending on useage type.
My guage is back to front, rotating the sender made no difference, but it's consistant so I don't worry. Also it's sighted to be obscured by the steering wheel so it's not blinding when driving at night, so unless I move my head to see it I can't see it.
