I looked at this before.. Even had an email conversation at length with a supplier of LPG injection kits for diesels. None of them managed to set it up in such a way that you could either use or not use LPG.. If you wanted to use it, you had to have it mapped specifically to lower the diesel fuelling. But that meant if you ran out of LPG your engine would run quite lean. Or you could just use lpg without a remap.. In which case it would be running very rich..

This is what put me off the idea.
