How much will the conversion cost me?
It costs from about £1,600 for a car or a light van depending on the number of cylinders in the engine.
The costs will also vary according to the size of the LPG tank fitted. The larger the tank the greater the range between filling up. Typically the mileage that can be travelled on a full tank of LPG will be less than on petrol so you may have to fill up more often, but you will be saving money every time. And, of course, the petrol tank is usually left in place so petrol can be used for emergencies or by using the petrol the mileage range of the vehicle can be significantly increased.
