I've been considering an LPG conversion for some time- but I want to keep my loadspace- so I think I need a vertical tank in the spare wheel well. The car is immaculate- one of the best, and has had lots of money spent on it. Does anyone know of someone who has done this conversion before, and how much it should cost? Hopefully as its only a 175CDUS carb,(stromberg) it only needs the 'old fashioned ring' system. I do about 1500 miles a month and get about 22mpg at present. Is it worth doing? I'm looking at it in the long-term. If LPG goes to the price of petrol by 2011, it may not be worthwhile. Any advice or thoughts? Thanks, Brian
