On the other hand we have been running an lpg car for a number of years now, had 3 converted and bought one used already done, a Mitsi supplied new with makers approved conversion, and a poor conversion it was too.
You have to choose the right car with a suitable place for the tank, and make sure you get a good quality flashlube dispenser system fitted to the vehicle.
German cars especially take well to the conversion as having hard valves and seats are less likely to suffer VSR (valve seat recession) than some others, also avoid direct injection engines as these are not generally suitable for conversion.
Find the right converter, sadly i believe the excellent place at Featherstone no longer converts vehicles nor does Toby in the depths of Worcestershire, and this is happening all over, only a hard core left of converters, we haven't had any issues finding cheap lpg supplies (currently paying 56ppl) but i wonder if bp garages are trying to find an excuse not to sell it any more as their prices are stupidly high in many cases so their sales must be minimal.
I suspect the present LPG car converted last year will be our last, unless something happens to reinvigorate the fuel, there may well be nowhere in a few years to get the conversion done or service/repair current equipment, only the east europeans will be users mainly because they can get cars converted at home when they visit for less than half the cost here so the sums make more sense.
