Kev,

I had a rough price for converting mine of between £1500 to £2000 depending on which kit and tank size. My problem is I would have to have the heads seen to as you need hardened valve seats putting in for LPG as it is more likely than unleaded to cause valve seat recession. Is it worth it? I think that depends on the mileage you intend to do. As the crummy government have now removed the hold on tax on LPG it's going to go up at each budget by more than unleaded and so the price differential will disappear eventually. It just depends how quickly that happens and whether you'll do enough miles to make back the installation costs before it hits the same price as unleaded. Remember, once that happens you get slightly less MPG from LPG than you do from unleaded.
