classicswede: All gas bottles (home/vehicle) take fuel in liquid form. See the Gas It website where they sell a kit to refill household gas bottles at a fuel station in MH's.
There are plenty of videos on UTube showing gas installation on campers etc for heating/cooking.
All of those installations have a chassis mounted gas vapouriser mounted near to the tank.
I have found the vapouriser on my V40 and as said previously it's not suitable.
So for my MH it's a round VOLVO tank instead of a gas bottle shoved into a cupboard behind my seat!
XC90Mk1: My V40 BiFuel is nudging 240k miles. The only reason i am junking it is because it's now consuming a bit of oil (because some spark plug ceramic fell into a bore and I couldn't get it out) and the diff. is noisy requiring a gearbox. Apart from a stutter at exactly 1500 rpm on gas (a nuisance but not grief) it has never missed a beat, ran forever on Denso single point plugs at £10 for 4! Cost me £100 in fuel to get from southern Spain to the UK each way. My diesel Kangoo couldn't match that.
All on a car I bought for £600 6 years ago.
I've had my monies worth out of it.
Replacement is a Skoda diesel.
