An example of this looking at Honda GX engines. On petrol we were seeing the work for about 500hrs and need a rebuild. 250hrs of running later and then would be too worn to repair. Changing to LPG only extended life to 1000-1500 hrs before needing a head gasket and minor repair. Final engine life would be 3000-5000 hours before the block would fail!

I can only convey my experience from half a dozen vehicles which never over their life ever ran properly and were unreliable.
Its not something that I would get involved with.
Each to their own, mine is first hand experience and its not worth the hassle. If you could pay £1500 to £2000 loads of people would have taken it up (I would have 2 off petrol cars running LPG).
As it is I have never been in an LPG car without the EML illuminated or starting issues or problems switching from petrol to LPG.
