Mav - little comfort - but if the noise has "lessened" then you probably havent got to the stage where the top of the piston has become perforated. Id imagine when that happens, you could kiss goodnight your sump - not to mention other things that may go "kerpow".
Id still be asking (if you havent already done so) a Toyo dealer - what are the impacts from "a faulty injector" - even showing them that picture and asking them to "pls explain" should help them if they become a little lost for words.
BTW - as a side issue - in my quest for getting LPG injection system fitted, i had a manufacturer provide the following regarding "bad LPG" - so bad fuel in this country is not just related to diesel...
names removed..."You may have heard of or seen a brown jelly like substance blocking up the XYZ System and other LPG installations.
As far as we can determine Shell and BP add glycol to their LPG product stream to stop any water freezing in the pipeline.
This additive is supposedly removed before the LPG raw feed gets sent out to suppliers and service stations.
It has been reported that the facilities in both Longford Plant and Altona have been loading autogas containing excessive amounts of this propylene additive over the past few months.
Reports are that 4% is the maximum allowable by Shell, but that this specification has been exceeded many times over. Even 4% is too much as far as we are concerned.
Recently, the Herald/Sun Cars Guide pointed the finger at Shell saying they should be made accountable for the “repair” bill on customers vehicles.
On the grape vine it has been mentioned that Shell have excess propylene they need to get rid of from another process and so they blend it into their LPG to get rid of it.
This propylene is what’s causing the excessive residue seen in LPG Systems recently.
Even though XYZ has in the past repaired this issue under warranty, we can no longer accept “dirty” LPG as a warrantable item.
The owners of affected vehicles should contact Shell or BP and see to it that they pick up the bill from their local installer to clean out the LPG System. Shell or BP will then need to fix the problem their end and not dump the problem onto consumers.

BTW#2 - i recall seeing a very small add in Adelaide's Advertiser a week or so ago from Shell.....which correlates to the above. In addition, a number of our dedicated LPG fleet vehicles have become stuck and have had to be towed to their respective make's dealership service centre for repair. Further testimony that Aust's fuels are not necessary the best (and once again, not just diesel is appears).
