it should be a relative straight swap since the engine is the same etc. the only difference is where the lpg tank is situated and the lpg pipes would need to be shortened and what would need to be done is recheck the fittings, mainly for integrity and if they are still sealed after the swap. the whole system needs to be checked by a certified installation engineer for safety reasons after it has been swapped over

everything could be fitted but personally I would use a brand new pipe from the tank to the front end just for piece of mind.

space for a tank can be an issue, unless you go for the split underfloor jobbies which run a cut down main fuel tank.

tank protection?  when you consider a normal plastic tank is a few mm and a petrol tank even less, I think a gas tank made with a 5mm plate steel a lot safer option.

its better for the engine as it doesn't create carbon buildups and the oil lasts longer in the sump ( providing you got no leaks), service stations are everywhere unless you are wandering round the glens and lochs of scotland, never had a problem finding gas and if you have a tomtom you can  have a poi for lpg and you will be surprised where you can get hold of it.

just make sure you get a multi point system and not the older single point.

not sure about the julian bit tho so that could be right....but I have never had any problem when i ran an lpg jeep, except for thumb ache at the pump
