What the ministry says is wrong

不適正な燃料を使用するとベーパライザー内の減圧弁に高い圧力がかかるため気密不良となり、エンジン始動時に燃料が急激に流れ過流防止弁が作動し、エンジンが始動できなくなるおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

全車両、ガス容器を対策品に交換するとともに、減圧弁を確認し、改良品が装着されていない場合は改良品に交換する。 また、自動車用オートガスの使用の徹底と過流防止弁作動時の処置方法を記載したコーションプレートをガス容器カバーに貼付する。

The two passages above are quoted in Japanese because that is the language the ministry published them in. This site keeps the wording a register had when it was read, and does not translate a safety notice.
