i have had first hand experience of driving a lpg berlingo van
as the last company i worked for had all their vans converted
when the grants were still available
word of warning though nearly all the vans suffered stalling problems
in cold frosty conditions usually cutting out completely as you were gearing down for a junction or roundabout, the ex bosses jaguar had the same problem
half his fleet were converted at different garages , it made no difference
ive even heard of other makes having the same problem

it got so bad i just ran the van on petrol when it was cold as one time it cut out
when i was turning right , hence no power steering etc ( scary )
another colleague refused to have his replacement converted and insisted on a diesel van instead and the boss reluctantly gave in

i wouldnt have lpg after what happened to me on numerous occasions cutting out without warning
