Hi, new to this forum but here goes, I've just done the same and bought an xc90 4.4. On a 07 plate 44k, so far there appears to be a few problems in converting to LPG first one being the tank under the boot, you will probably only get a 80l tank filling to 60l giving a range of approximately 180 miles. Next as you rightly say not many people have done this and there is a question wether or not the valve seats are going to be affected by wear, I have spoken to Prins over this and he told me that he hadn't personally fitted one to this engine but the Japanese engines seam to work closer to the heat limits of the valve seats but if you fit flash lube there shouldn't be a problem. The car is going in to be looked at on Saturday, if you find out anything more please post it as it might help me to, I will let you know how I get on
