Default lpg problem in a vogue

hello
i have a vogue since the past 3 years its from 2004 i decided to instal a new LPG system in
it works perfectly BUT since its instalation i encounterd this , it might be not linked to its instalation but problems have always to do with the cooling systhem
its a BMW engine that is inside
one day the water pump broke....
one day a water cooling pipe blow off its connector....
the little radiator located under the main radiator broken....
in several occasions same again now i am loosing coolant liqued
does it has to do that i have underpresure in the systhem that is looking for a way out and that way out is the most fragile way where it can find
a few days ago i had to add 1 liter of cooland and now again.
i have spoken with the LPG insaller and he told me that those BMW engines in range rovers or BMW engines are the best to install a LPG systhem.
when i bought the car it had 147000 km yet it have 201000km
i always drive it gelntly and never go over 150km
does someone has any idea of what might cause this problem? any tips or advice?
thanks ahaid for your cooperation
phil

The only place you have pressure is in the LPG lines. The engine itself doesn't really know the difference. The problems you have had are unrelated to the LPG conversion.

Default lpg

yhanks >Mossman for your reply
they also added a extra valve greaser and that works with a small whos that is comming out of the engine, now i don't know if its comming from the engine itself or its head, they told me it was not needed by such an engine so they instaled it free . this item works on the under presure o or presure of the engine i dn't know that for sure coz i am not used to work on this sort of engines could this extra greaser have any influence on the cooling system? i don't think so?
kind regards
phil
