Default LPG Conversion Help

So I was thinking that to get more miles for my money I would look into a LPG conversion. I can't afford to do an engine swap any time in the near future so I thought this might be a possible alternative. Has anyone done this? Anyone have any good links for purchasing kits or parts? Thanks!

This is HUGE in the UK, find a UK Land Rover forum and join.

will need a LPG carb, tank, lines, regulator. Something a lot of people don't think about is pressure, you might have a 20lb tank but you can not get it all out because of pressure loss. so you have to refill more often than you might expect.

I have been looking at it as well but depending on your state you could have issues with getting it certified.

Spike I looked online before I posted and I found that all the conversion kits for the LR are from the UK. I was just hoping someone had see one in the US that would work. I don't think it will be hard to get certified here. I live in Texas and there are alot of conversions around. DFW airport has a large fleet of LPG vehicles. Thanks guys.

Have you looked into getting a kit shipped to you?

And keep in mind that the fleets you see using LPG are bought that way.
