As a complete newbie, I did do a search regarding LPG conversions on the forum, and retrieved some good information.
However, still in fear of asking something already answered elsewhere, I do ask the following:
1. Due to likely changes in duty on LPG, is paying for a conversion still viable over say the next 2/3 years?. I use my road car (BMW 3 series) for business use, covering approx 13,000 miles per year. As I work in the waste industry, there are times I have to drive into areas I would prefer not to take the Beemer. Thinking the Cherokee would be better suited.
2. I have been quoted by a local LPGA workshop approx £2500 to convert, using a underslung fitting with new petrol tank & LPG tank. Whilst I would agree that this is possibly the neatest installation, I have seen pics on the internet, of a 'donut' or round tank, installed on one side of the boot, matching the spare wheel on the other. Are these any good?
All replies/advice gratefully received.

). Doesn't matter if someone asked it before. The sometimes random nature of even tech threads means that it can sometimes be difficult to find answers by searching the forum.

Been hearing the same thing for 5 years, spent the last 3 years filling up my XJ for less than 1/2 price. Guess you can't believe everything you hear.
