Between the converter and the intake manifold is a large vacumm operated valve so to speak. The more the throttle is opened the more this valve is opened to let in the vaporized propane. The solenoid valve is hooked in with the ignition system so when the ignition is shut off the valve shuts off the propane.

I have not worked on systems with fuel injection just duel fuel systems, gas or propane on older trucks. Hope this helps, if you have more questions let me know.
