Don't poorly fitted LPG systems have a tendency to blow up? After all it is a compressed gas cylinder full of explosive fuel. I think it costs about £1000 but is about half the cost of petrol.
Probably better put in the technical sections.
Current Transit: Mk8 tourneo Sport with go faster stripes.

Long time sold: Mk5 LWB 190, 2.5di banana SHR, 3 seats, SLD, Twin rear doors (rusted bottoms), manual locking & windows.

You will also need unleaded heads fitted unless you drive some of the time on petrol with an additive, which would defeat the object a little
