Punctuation much?

Although LPG is a road not ventured down by many, there's a few threads here about the conversion and kits available. A thorough search should kick over some results....

I'm on my second LPG car, the first one being a Range Rover I converted myself. I can't understand why anyone would consider using any other fuel. Feel free to ask any questions. .......

CNG is somewhat more common here. Is LPG and CNG the same, and are the kits interchangeable? With in reason? Anyone know?

Liquified petroleum gas or propane is not the same as compressed natural gas, which is mostly methane. Different storage technology, different fuel. CNG let's use use a home refuelling system that fills your vehicle off your gas main overnight, if legal in your area.
